Insured Sites will Close March 1, 2016
Posted: Wed Dec 30, 2015 11:21 am
Hopefully, that subject line grabbed your attention.
Which sites will close? Well, in AZ alone it will be:
A-Mountain
Ak Chin Airport
Apache Maid
Box Canyon
Cottonwood Airport
Echo Cliffs
Humboldt Mountain
Miller Canyon
Mingus Mountain
Mount Lemmon
Mt. Eldon
Oatman Mountain
Shaw Butte
South Mountain
Whetstone Mountains
Most of the sites you're likely to fly in other states will also close including:
Woodrat Mountain
Point of the Mountain
Horse Canyon
Elings Park (Santa Barbara training hill)
Santa Barbara mountain sites and LZs
Crestline
For SAHGA, that means we'll be left with Mustang and towing.
Want to help keep our insured sites open? Then, please donate toward the capitalization of the USHPA RRG. Details are here: https://www.ushpa.aero/freeflightforever.asp. If every USHPA member donated $100, we would be done raising funds and could get on with issuing insurance policies to keep our sites open. But, right now, the donation rate in AZ is maddeningly low at 8%. That means only 17 of Arizona's 206 USHPA members have donated anything thus far.
I know we've all been busy with the holidays, but seriously, if you can afford a wing, you can afford $100 toward funding the RRG that will keep our sites open. Think of it as a one-time assessment on your USHPA membership, one that happens to be tax deductible.
Here's a spreadsheet showing the percentages by state. Right now, we're toward the bottom. This sheet gets updated as new donations roll in. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jpfwqhe4vdis5 ... g.xls?dl=0
If you have questions about all this, please go to https://www.ushpa.aero/freeflightforever.asp. If, after reading the materials there, you still have questions, please post them here or contact me privately.
Remember, USHPA cannot issue insurance policies or certificates until the RRG is properly capitalized, and our current policies expire March 1, 2016.
