Also.. you're using one data point here....what did Muncie get all the other years, not just one year.
As for the spending outside of Muncie vs Muncie, I was not able to find specifics in the minutes for Muncie spending other than in 2016. Similarly, flying site grants were not consistently reported in the minutes either. In fact I found totals only for years 2016, 2013, 2009, and 2004. Perhaps the consistent absence of complete information is to obfuscate the allocation of dollars, perhaps just sloppy minutes recording, or outright omission. Regardless, its not easy to find the information. Why is it so difficult to find out how member's money is being spent?

If you know where I can go to get detailed info on money spent at Muncie vs. money spent outside Muncie (for flying site work/improvements/etc.), please let me know.
