NewsWelcome to the WSPA website, a publication for pilots with water on the BrainHeadlines.....Membership List
Updated Members PageSorry It's taken a while, but many of you have asked why your current membership hasn't been reflected in the "update" date listed on the Banner. The date on the Banner only indicates the date some new information was added to the website. The date on the membership page indicates the date I've posted that information. I can't put a different banner on each page.... that would be cool if I could! Welcome Greg CorradoAt the May 13th Board of Directors meeting Greg Corrado was offered and
accepted the position of Vice President. Greg brings with him a world of
experience from flying his C-180 all over the place on wheels and floats.
We plan to tap into Greg's enthusiasm and welcome him to the
organization. President Bush signed the bill creating Wild Sky!Here is the link to the story....
Bush signs bill creating Wild Sky Finally, it's actually been 9 years in the making. Wild Sky in no different in it's restriction of motorized vehicles than any other wilderness area, EXCEPT for Float Planes. Yes, you heard that right. As quoted from the bill, Float Plane Access- As provided by section 4(d)(1) of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(1)), the use of floatplanes on Lake Isabel, where such use has already become established, shall be permitted to continue subject to such reasonable restrictions as the Secretary of Agriculture determines to be desirable. So, this is a big change. What does the Secretary of Agriculture have to do with anything? I'm not sure. You can bet nothing will change just yet, when the new administration come in though we should be prepared for a fight. The Bureau of ReclamationThe BoR is supposedly yielding. This is good news. Word has it they will be restoring the CFRs to pre-ban wording. SPA is their contact and all seems to be quiet there. We are waiting to see what happens. According to the website www.usbr.gov/seaplanes The change should be published this month. We believe this has been a direct result of the reaction to the States weighing in on the issue. Classifieds.... continue to be problem?One glitch with this program is that anything that has been in MS Word can carry in "language" that erases the page. Part of that problem is that it may not disappear when you paste it in, it happens when you add a picture or at some point when you return to the page so you don't know what the problem was. If it does go away when you are watching there is no back button! It's one big frustration. If anyone wants to create us a web site PLEASE let me know. This was more than I bargained for! What you see there now is something I've been recreating. Please be patient and forward me any changes or additions. If you have something to sell or something you need, all I need from you is an email and a picture. Please review the Classified Ads page and send me your your current ads again.
