If I recall, what I said was that I'd remain a member through the end of the year and then re-evaluate based on some criteria which include, but are not limited to how much I fly at AMA fields. Now, as of now, I've flown zero times at an AMA field. However, as I said in a post in the economics forum, there is one airplane I may yet build that would make it worth it.
I believe there are a number of current AMA members who will reevaluate our membership when they expire ( mine ends the beginning of 2018). When I took the 2 year option I figured I'd have a handle on just where we were going in that time frame.

flying here in a local park is against city ordinances I don't have option on where to fly. I don't think I own anything I'd feel comfortable flying at a park anyway. I have two really nice fields within 16 miles of my house and would much rather fly with the guys anyway.

Where will you be flying if you don't renew your AMA membership for 2018?

My prediction...you'll still be with the AMA as will almost all of the others. With 180k members, and only about 2k not renewing last year, it doesn't seem like an exodus. And of those 2k, we don't know who actually quit, and who passed on. I suspect the non renewal rate is about the same as it always has been.

From Pew Research Center:
"On January 1, 2011, the oldest Baby Boomers will turn 65. Every day for the next 19 years, about 10,000 more will cross that threshold."
