All this does is further blur the lines between what AMA was, and what it is becoming.

The speaker list for this year's Expo is not up yet. But here is last year's list:

http://amaexpo.com/speaker-series/2015-speakers/

Six of the eight speakers had little, or nothing, to do with what most AMA members fly and do. And one (TFR talk) only partially touches members since clubs that are affected by a TFR mostly know it and close down. The TFR talk is really directed at the multitude of new drone pilots who feel they can fly anywhere they want to any time they want and however they feel like.

Botom line is I simply do not feel AMA represent me and the majority of members like me now. I talk to lots of people, and with very few exceptions the guys I talk to wish AMA would do more to distance our hobby from the drones, rather doing more to embrace them.

I guess we're just a bunch of FOGs!!
