  Just for the record.........

I view the value of the IAC (or whatever) as the same regardless of the name. 

But practically speaking, not being IN the USA, belonging to the INTERNATIONAL Aerobatic Club has a more global impact than belonging to the US Aerobatic Club. IF there was an International Owner's and Pilots Association I would prefer that name to AOPA but the latter still has good value. 

My two cents (1.26 cents US) worth. Life will go on. 

Brent Rogers.
