I have written a lot in the past year about the availability of a very fairly priced AD&D product from a company that covers everything from simple AD&D to war risk for civilian contractors working in Afghanistan. The company that offers the coverage is...

I was running some quotes for a client of mine a few days ago, a husband and wife private pilot team. They had inquired through AOPA, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, for group coverage and had run into several issues. Probably the most troublesome was that...
