Default I want my SSA

Earlier, Bill Daniels wrote:

...2. Relocate the headquarters to a city easilly reachable by a significant
part of the membership. i.e. good airline connections with at least three
active local clubs. This would mean that at any moment a rank and file
member could walk in off the street creating a mindset in the paid staff
that, "It would be harder to get away with something." It would also mean
that a large number of vollunteers would be available if needed.


Good thinking.

I say, get a cheap steel building at Tehachapi CA. The Experimetnal
Soaring Association and the Vintage Sailplane Association both conduct
annual meets there, they have an active glider FBO and many private
owners, and the site has a strong heritage in sailplane development and
innovation. It's just close enough to LA and Bakersfield and the CA
central valley pilots, and it's one good XC flight away for the Minden
guys.

After the move we can flip the Hobbs HQ on eBay to pay the IRS. Let the
National Association of Correctional Facility Systems Installers have
it, and its computer network.
