Default What fraction of current SSA members still fly?

50% no longer fly, are not current and are essentially retired. My guess. This is typical of large recreational organizations (sailing or flying clubs for example). They stay involved just encase or for the social fun of it but are not active. It is important to be aware of this segment. No need to be afraid of this number, but I suspect it is larger than many here are willing to admit.
