Publication of event coverage and "how-to" and opinion articles in Contrails is an added benefit of the JPO but not its primary purpose.

The turbine waiver and LMTA rules may not be perfect but I hate to think what they would be like (if they even existed) if not for the input of JPO. The benefit of membership and keeping the JPO viable is the support and protection of RC turbines going forward. The District Rep (not a VP), participates in JPO meetings and the decision making process. He is also your best direct link for input to the JPO to express your ideas and concerns.

It is to the advantage of all AMA turbine waiver holders to belong to and support the JPO.

Thanks Craig for your input and to clarify Im talking about the last 2 years when i start flying Turbines I been involve in this hobby for 44 years and start flying jets in 84 first time i knew about JPO was in Ga jets event 2 years ago and i went i check this but when i start looking for district articles didn't found one last year from this District so that one of the reasons I never joint. I meet Rex last year at Ga jets event plus a heard a lot of good things from him so I know he will be a good Rep for this District
