Ironic to read this as I just wrote out the check (it's $80 to belong to WOA because you have to join EAA) last night. However, the reason I belong is primarily for the insurance. A couple of years ago, Avemco DOUBLED my insurance to $5,000 even though I have had no claims, accidents, etc. EAA WOA came through with a policy almost $2,000 cheaper and it did not go up with last renewal, despite 9/11. So there are some tangible reasons to join for warbird owners.

Further down the page, someone was dissing Paul Allen for not showing his warbirds. I try to be as friendly and open all the time when people want to stop by and chat about my T-6. But consider that alot of warbird owners are just regular guys who have wives, kids, jobs, etc. Sometimes I set out for the airport with limited time to get a maintenance item done, or to go burn fuel for an hour. I may have promised my wife I would be back in a couple of hours. So, if I am curt, please cut me some slack, but know that I will not be rude. I will excuse myself, but it is not personal, so don't take it that way.
