So
let me get this right. If I pay you $40 to join the LOBO I will be a
better pilot then a non-LOBO member, cool.
How exactly does that work?
Other then someone getting $40 richer, I don't see it. Is this like a
pyramid
scam?
Don't insult non members and get a life. As a matter
of fact. If the LOBO is
so great, why are you even on the LML?
I think
the LOBO members should go to their own blog. I am sure they have
one.

[Whoa... lighten up.
Since the LML had been operating successfully for a number of years
prior to the founding of LOBO and the LML would likely already be in touch
with most folks who would be interested in joining and participating in LOBO,
an agreement was forged which allowed LOBO to use the LML as its
communications arm. It was a logical decision which would benefit both
entities. Both organizations exist for the benefit of the Lancair
community, especially where safety is involved. As for cost... if
$40/year is too much to pay to an organization dedicated to your safety and
actively working to help getting the Lancair fleet insured at better
rates then don't join. Also, don't participate in their discussions or learn
anything from their shared knowledge... at least that way you'll get what you
paid for. But don't throw stones at folks who are trying to help... that
doesn't get us anywhere. <marv> ]

Accident rate for LOBO members vs non-members
Dico,
That's a good
point. That's one reason we would like to get as many Lancair
pilots on the LML and into LOBO as possible. It's
largely a word of mouth
process to get let people know about these two
resources. Getting the word
out to everyone is one of the
"things we can do as a community" to improve the
situation.
LOBO membership is $40 at www.lancairowners.com.
(Marv would love
contributions to keep the LML site going too!)

being a

rate
for us is more in line with the 300x experimental or even better than
that.
Have we gone through the Lancair accidents to see if the PIC
was a LOBO
member. It would be interesting.
