R.I.P.
"...The officers and directors of the SWRFI voted to cancel the fly-in scheduled for October 10-11, 2008 and to ultimately cease operations.
The board made this decision as a result of the following:
1. EAA headquarters decided to cease branding regional fly-ins as EAA events.
2. EAA will no longer insure regional events.
3. ..."
I am very disappointed with EAA's decision to stop insuring our regional fly-ins and disallow us from calling them EAA events. This cessation of support for our local fly-ins is a big step away from supporting the needs of the experimenters for which EAA is named. The EAA would be better named Poberenzy's Oshkosh Association.
I hope there's a huge uproar from EAA members who insist that EAA reverse its decision. We elected our national EAA officers in good faith, assuming they would represent our needs. I would encourage each member to find an Email address or phone number on EAA's web site to voice your concerns. (like [email protected] )
