Good idea, Scott. I suggested that the SSA give a
free 1 year
membership to all
newly licenced glider pilots. Nothing ever came of
it.

Sounds like a good idea. Maybe it's time to suggest
it again - new
management, elected and appointed.

Any thoughts on rolling the SSA into the fold of the
EAA, along with
it's Classic, Warbird, Vintage Aircraft divisions.
Lots of members, two
conventions a year for exposure (Oshkosh, and Sun and
Fun). Strong
lobbying power, and a world wide network. Just thoughts.


Ba-a-d Idea!

With all due respect to the years of hard work the
people at the very to of EAA put into it, we would
not want to be under their control. It functions like
a Fiefdom. They select all the second tier managers
and the top slot stays in the family. They get all
the benefits and the members do all the volunteer work
and still have to pay to get into the show and are
allowed but one museum visit per year without paying
for that. The museum's aircraft are available only
the the top 1-6 people to fly. They have absolute
control over everything. We could not fit into their
regime.
