I think the last part is probably where the workload lies. If you think it through it probably ends up with an organization, budget, directors and insurance to have a lasting effect. If you simply want to tell people what is available (LML) then for about a dollar per postcard you can contact new registration addresses. That reminds me I have to send in my Lancair resale form...

Great Ideas

Anybody know how to get name/address for registration transfers? Apparently it is public information because I always get a lot of new junkmail when I buy a plane.

Also - who is our accident stats guy? Someone was tracking all this stuff.
