Practical Considerations When Responding to a Subpoena<br />
17<br />
By Paul Alp, Esq.<br />
Responding to a subpoena presents challenges, but like other<br />
challenges in business and aviation, they can be managed with<br />
thoughtful advance preparation, a professional approach, and<br />
diligence. This article walks you through the basic things to think<br />
about when you receive a subpoena.<br />
<strong>Bridgeford</strong> <strong>Flying</strong> <strong>Services</strong>: A <strong>Vintage</strong> <strong>Napa</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> <strong>FBO</strong> 29<br />
By Paul Seidenman and David J. Spanovich<br />
For private and corporate aircraft pilots and passengers, the<br />
gateway to Northern California’s scenic <strong>Napa</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> is the <strong>Napa</strong><br />
County Airport and <strong>Bridgeford</strong> <strong>Flying</strong> <strong>Services</strong>, a full-service <strong>FBO</strong>.<br />
Established in 1946 by four World War II pilots, <strong>Bridgeford</strong> once<br />
competed with four other <strong>FBO</strong>s on the airport but has long outlived<br />
them. To survive, it has grown, along with the airport to meet the<br />
changing needs of general aviation operators.<br />
Lessons Learned: Insurance Traps to Avoid 35<br />
By David W. Almy<br />
Sure to raise the hackles of some insurance brokers, Jim Strang<br />
approaches the insurance game from a unique perspective. He’s an<br />
insurance consultant, but as such he plays the role of a buyer’s agent<br />
for aviation insurance and is perhaps the only one doing so full time.<br />
Aviation Business Journal thought it might be interesting to catalog<br />
the lessons learned from Strang’s 45-plus years in the insurance and<br />
risk management fields for the benefit of <strong>NATA</strong> members.<br />
