So, either the article is wrong or the policy has changed since 2002. I
also remember a few other write-ups about this 'technique' to (at least
temporarily) boost the EAA membership. BTW: I'm not saying it is right or
wrong - I simply posted in response to Jay's comment "So WHAT is there to
hate about EAA?" - I'm sure there are people out there that don't like to
be
forced to join an organization just to attend an airshow.


Nobody is forced to join an organization to attend an airshow. This is an
organization's annual convention. How many organizations allow the general
public to attend their conventions?
