I think I have read where the cost just to purchase the proposed indoor site is $1M? That is a ludicrous amount of money considering the current financial status of the AMA, yet they shrug it off and justify it as not coming from the general fund? If they have the ability to raise (or already have) $1M, I can think of a dozen different ways it could be better spent to serve a greater majority of the membership than on an indoor flying site in Muncie!!

The amount of money they give to clubs for improvements, land acquisition and scholarships is a mere pittance in comparison.
