In the end, it always seems to come down to this. Those who oppose the AMA are ultimately opposed to the dues (both AMA and club). I have no problem with that and respect that view. I just wish those that had that view also respected that there are many who don't mind paying for the ability to fly at a club field that is well maintained, has nice amenities, and is insured (everything else aside, that is ultimately what the AMA provides to me).
