Dues Increase for FY2009
Nevada Wing has increased its dues for FY2009.
This is in response to a decrease in our state grant (which is based on
the greatly reduced number of gallons of aviation gasoline sold) and
increases in the prices of everything we buy.

initial membership and $62 for renewals. The new annual dues for
cadets are $30.
There is also a new CAPF 12 (Application for
