Hi All-

Me too. But don't give up. If a lot of us carp, perhaps we'll truly get
his attention.

I hope your being facetious. Many who might read this might not know of
the internal strife that has occurred over this situation. I do like
'AirVulture', though-

I'm a member and was at the fly in this year. It was quite enjoyable, and
I wish I could have stayed longer. I also was present for an award
ceremony at OSH. I got a couple of really dirty looks while there.
Afterwards, I realized I had my SAA pin on my hat...

You're most likely right. But collectively, we can steer the existing one
where we want to go instead of where we are currently heading.

Accepting adverting and sponsorship is one thing. What occurred Mon eve is
something else, entirely.

Unfortunately, it's not everyone and their dog anymore. Many vendors have
been priced right out of participation, especially the smaller ones that
have the most to gain, and perhaps the most to offer.
EAA and OSH are still the greatest aviation things going. Unfortunately,
the current trend is a negative one. I think it's not yet a terminal one,
but it could be, if we don't get through to these guys-
