Why don't you ask Muncie how the indoor flying facility will be used for the other nine months of the year when they aren't hosting their few summer events and see what they say
I remember when the move to Muncie was first proposed. Yes, I was a member then. Lots of arguing in the magazines over whether it was a good idea or not. I want to say the majority of members were against the move but I could be wrong. The only argument for the move I agreed with was the anticipated reduction of overhead costs. But looking at the numbers today, that reduction was temporary at best.
From a business standpoint the AMA has been mis-managed for decades. Numbers don't lie. Overhead spending has increased while revenue has decreased. Anyone who can't see the writing on that wall is an idiot. Anyone who ignores it in favor of business as usual is a fool. Or a crook.
I'm called a hater for trying to bring attention to the issues. So be it. If I'm such a hater than you "lovers" can go ahead and ignore the issues. And together we can watch what the future brings to the AMA.
