Damn it , it snowed again, and the roads in our area are packed. Not to mention runways at local airports. Guess no flying today, but as the afternoon wears on ya’ll can bet , I’ll be out snagging , dragging , which means toewing.
Had an okay time at the years end meeting of the AyreWolvez, previous night. Much was covered, and one that is a concern for many is the rize of the membership dues, mainly the LifeTime membership dues. Going from $500.00 to $700.00, but when you think of it, its not that expensive. Considering , once paid, you no longer need to renew, membership. Beyond that the exclusive ability to network , and sell to other aviators, both of the rotorcraft as well as fixed winged members and attendees at all the airshows , and events we go to. The aviation education one gets by being a member , especially a LifeTime member is unequaled in all specialty aviation organizations.
While some segments of our trade and passion of flying has been hit hard, by the economic depression ushered in by Jimmy Carter, continued through Bush Junior with only a moderate relief from Clinton, specialty and sport aviation has not only held steady , but has increased in both spending and hiring. Such areas as air med and air rescue, fire suppression, aviators are being hired, the job market for aviation is very healthy. Of course too, those who keep the birds flying are also in great demand. By being a LifeTime member, of the AyreWolvez, not only does one gain great incite into specialty aviation, you get constant education that WILL get you a job, but keep you there. Currently, until January 8th 2011, LifeTime memberships are at $500.00, but with increased costs, that jumps to $700.00 . Yearly dues will also jump this next month from the current $250.00 per year to $500.00 per year. I urge you, that if you have not renewed , do it now. Beyond the aviational education you get as a member or LifeTime Member , of the AyreWolvez, you get aircraft insurance, both life and medical insurance, and so many things that I have not the room here to outline. Plus if your someone that sells products, from jewelry and wearables , to aircraft parts, you not only get the ability to network with ready buyers for your products, but life time advertising, both on the website, as well as on both our radio and upcoming TV show, (AyreTraffic) which will be running soon on both RTV as well as RFDTV. If I were you I’d get at it, overnight your dues and renew your membership now. or at least before the 8th of January 2011. See the club business card at the bottom of this blog on where to send it, if your new to the organization or are considering such.
Any flyte its, been a long night, this old Wolf needs sleep.
L8R Aviators,
