The Free Flight Foundation has a little deal with the USHPA. If the BOD members of the FFF raise money for the foundation, the USHPA is committed to matching the funds raised. I wonder if they do or have done any fund raising, as they don't report any.

The USHPA BOD has sanctioned the Big Spring Internationals so that pilots can obtain NTSS points (if the USHPA still manages to keep a record of them) for their ranking. What is amazing is that there were six or seven votes on the USHPA BOD against the sanctioning. Just exactly what... mehr
