I am not even a member. But I am impressed with the new Board, so I may consider it. At least if they do disagree, we, and more importantly the regulator, don't know about it.
Can't say that about your two terms I'm afraid.
I don't agree that Board membership should be limited to a valid BFR. But then again this is the first I have heard of it. Are you sure or is that another convinient off issue snipe???
I can say though, after over 10 years on the ground I would have thought you'd have better things to do than fight with Dick Smith.
But, back to sunfish, yes, flying was fun once. Then we had to fill out a flight plan before almost any flight and report every 30 minutes. But landings at Parafield were free as they were everywhere else (I think???) and if you wanted a VTC you just asked for one, same with the other maps.
But sadly, subsequent Governments have destroyed the concept that taxes are for the benefit of the whole society. Even AOPA under Smith and Munro (the last time I was a member!!!) fought for 'user pays'.
It is that we should be fighting, not each other!!!!
