Cost to join SSA?
What's a full membership in the SSA cost?
I went on the SSA site and they won't tell you untill you have filled out all the forms. Is it so high that they are afraid to scare people off? John |

Probably! :-) SSA charges about 50% more than AOPA, the later offering *many* more services for the money. I understand economy of scale - 400,000 members vs, what, 15,000? To me, it makes sense for SSA and AOPA to get married, so to speak. Tony Ls6-B "6N" |

Tony Ls6-B "6N" Having worked with AOPA writing about soaring, I think we would just get lost in their 400,000 member organization. Cooperation with the AOPA? Yes, by all means. Merger? No, I think we are much better off with an independent SSA. The answer is to expand the SSA's membership. If we could pick up as few as 1% of AOPA's membership, the SSA would be able to significantly expand it's services. BTW, check out the last few issues of Soaring Magazine. IMHO It has become so much better, it alone is worth the membership. US soaring needs you. Join the SSA. Bill Daniels |

That being said, I have always had positive dealings with the SSA. Brad We are a club and require all club members to also be SSA members. We are a Charter SSA Club. Our insurance is under the SSA Group policy, which requires SSA Membership. There are lots of reasons to join SSA. You may or may not be surprised at the behind the scenes work done with AOPA, EAA and ore organizations when dealing with the FAA on airspace and regulation issues. T |

John $64.00/year. Roughly one commercial tow, or maybe two tows at 'club' rates. Twelve to fifteen gallons of 100LL. Half a tank of diesel for my truck. Not a lot. |
