IMHO the number of life members will ever get close to having any signficant impact.

$1500 / $75 = 20 years Brake Even. Good deal for some one that's 55 or less has an extra $1500 and doesn't have kids to put thru collage or some other reason for giving up the hobby till retirement Like Death heaven for bid. Don't forget U paid $1500 when it was supposedly worth $1500 in 2015 dollars. Bt they will Raise the dues maybe twice by then too. Just Saying.

One of the Clubs I belong to just did away with their Life Time membership. Years back they need a lot of cash FAST so a number of them came up with their Life time membership. Now they realize it hurting their cash flow because these people no longer pay dues and most will be flying for another 10 to 20 years.
