I'm tired of hearing all of this crying about the poor volunteer officers at AMA. Did you ever stop to think about how many professional staff people your dues money is paying for??
Actually, they had the talent to get a exemption for model aircraft, then they got greedy when they realized there was a giant pile of drone money sitting out there, and yes, they threw the rest of us under the bus chasing that money.
