Default US National & World Records Require US Pilots to Hold FAISporting License issued by NAA

I think I was paying about $9.00/year for Air and Space... But RAS is
so much more entertaining! =-O

I also seem to recall that I got all my diamonds with a FREE sporting
license, or did I not need the license for those flights?

Steve, bes sure to add the magazine subscription. Air & Space magazine is a very worthwhile read and makes the $50 a bit more palatable.

Well B6, I suspect everyone who has posted here can afford all the beer they'd care to drink. The issue isn't priorities at all, the issue is being charged a fee for nothing -- no merchandise received, no services rendered. Paying that sort of a tax is annoying regardless the amount. I know of pilots who would fly for records were it not for the current NAA advance payment rule. In case you're not aware, NAA also charges a very hefty fee for processing a claim; so its sort of like: we'll get you coming and going - have fun buddy.

This does need to change.
