just let it die in dignity, not all the infighting about why and what coulda/shoulda be done to try and save it.
IMAA was a SIG within a CBO. Like many things, the popularity of that style of flying goes up and down, ultimately that org was mismanaged and poorly run, and went bye bye. They actually did try to bring that back, at least the mag, but the effort failed as well.
Not sure if you're saying the AMA market is a dying one though? Even of there isn't a huge market, it would seem that if there is a possibility to provide a service to a group and make a profit in the meanwhile, someone would give it a shot.
