RE: Solutions for AMA's membership decline
Kidepoxy,
Since the AMA has shut down the Airshow Teams, we no longer have that option that you discussed. Mark Smith is the AMA rep. that got it shut down. He briefly ran the team in Kansas City, and failed miserably. The first thing he did when he got to Muncie was to campaign to shut the program down. Claimed it cost the AMA too much in printing costs......
Has anybody priced a giant scale acrobatic aircraft lately?
The team was in front of over 100,000 people in its last year of service. We bore all of the costs. The AMA contributed nothing but tri-fold flyers that we handed out from a booth.
