A new design for the GFPA website?

If you hadn't noticed, there was a little problem with the GFPA website. Over the weekend, our hosting provider upgrade to a new operating system. In the process, everything broke... Including our website.

  How's this for cool... The image on the left is a new Cessna 182 with an all glass PFD/MFD. Dealers were so impressed that more than 300 new 182's, 172's, and 206's were sold in a single day!
