I'm not fussed what aircraft is in the sweepstakes - I'd just like overseas members such as myself to have a fair chance to win it as well. I find it very annoying that overseas members aren't eligible, since I pay my membership fees like anyone else...

If it were up to us, the sweepstakes would be available worldwide, believe me - we have nothing to gain by restricting it to the U.S. and (most of) Canada.
Unfortunately, every country has specific regulations that govern these things, from laws that require governmental registration to laws that forbid these types of contests altogether. Because of this, there's just no way for us to create a program that is universally available. It's just the unfortunate reality of promotions like this - if we could do it, we would.
