Default RE: Land for Sale

SCRCC and Abel,

I agree that the possibility of the AMA showing a positive return on the investment has declined greatly over the years. However, this question is being asked by the same Frank Ponteri that as President of the IMAA said that organization needed to raise its dues because it had been so long since they were changed. That was back in the days when the IMAA membership was over 12,000. Today his dues increase is in place within the IMAA and the membership rolls are down to around 9,000, or less. I think they stopped putting the number in High Flight out of embarrassment.

I wonder if his selected candidate (the old IMAA Contest Coordinator) has plans to get the AMA to buy flying sites all over the country. You know, it wouldn't take much of a dues increase to do that. I suggest you hide and watch this one come back as a working deal.
