Ye Gods! Out of a total population of nearly 250 million
in the US, is 12,740 members the best you can manage?
We have nearly that many in the UK with a population
on only 60 million, and a climate that is far less
conducive to soaring. Or is that you can be a glider
pilot in the USA without being a member of the SSA?

Glad to see it's increasing anyway.
