What happened to the original question, "Why did you join AMA?" It seem it has just about come full circle critizing any and all comments regardless of what they are. Personally, I think there is always some who would complain if they were being hung with a new rope. As for me I think AMA has done and outstanding job over the 75 plus years or however many it has been. They have encouraged and promoted model aviation throughout the world through both war and peace. I personally do not think model aviation would be what it is today had it not been for AMA, but like almost anything there is always those who can find fault, whether it is real or imigined. One has to wonder how many of us would have insurance to compensate for any damage or injuries we might cause in the operation of our aircraft had it not been for the forward thinking of past AMA leaders? When I first joined AMA back in 1979 it was just an expense. Today I gladly post my current AMA sticker.
