Q1_Aircraft: SAA

I'm sorry if you receive multiple copies of this, as I'm sending this out to
every e-mail list I belong to.

I BEG that you do likewise, as there is a real concern here. This is not spam
nor any form of chain letter.



I belong to several Experimental Aviation e-mail lists and have, throughout the
years, heard a common complaint that the the EAA is not supporting Experimental
Aviation like we would expect it to.



But there is another organization out there, the SAA, that IS doing as EAA use
to do. Like the EAA, the SAA was founded by Paul Poberezny (who is currently the
President), and is a 'grass roots' experimental aviation resource.



www.sportaviation.org/



Over the past weekend I heard a rumor that they might be shutting down, due to
lack of interest.



I sent them an e-mail and here's part of the reply:

(my question was specific to renewal)



'The Board will be meeting next month to determine the future direction of the
organization. Until that final decision has been made, we have elected not to
accept any renewals for 2006.'



So if I may be so bold, it's time for us to collectively to PUT-UP OR SHUT THE
HECK UP!



If you are a current member, please send a letter of support and recruit 5 new
members, today!



If you are NOT a member, then BECOME ONE!!! RIGHT NOW!!! There's no excuse.



The infrastructure is in place. The staff is on-board. Everything is in place
for the SAA to be everything you want or need it to be. The ONLY thing lacking
is YOUR SUPPORT!.



Without your support, SAA may be gone, soon. Although I'm a loyal member of the
EAA and feel that the direction they are taking is beneficial to general
aviation as well as sport aviation and SP/LSA (and they certainly have my
support with all of that), their return to grass-roots Experimental Aviation is
just not going to happen, no matter how many letters we send.



If we want to belong to an organization that's dedicated to people like you,
building stuff with your own hands, in your own garage, even if it's just
dreaming about taking on such a project, it's time to stop complaining about the
EAA and actually DO SOMETHING!!!

Pat,

Are you going to be a member of both EAA and SAA ?

I have been a member of both for many years, and plan to continue to do so.
EAA is changing, but I'm still interested in what they are changing to.

I'm not looking for SAA (or any other group) to replace EAA, but rather I'm
looking for a group that will represent better, those of us actually building
and designing stuff with our own hands; a group that will pick up the ball where
EAA has is dropping it.
