Charlie;
I'm a member of the HCRC and was during that time. We were dual chartered with the AMA and the SFA. To my knowledge at no time were we ever contacted by the AMA and told we would lose our charter. When SFA went belly up we all just went AMA. I wasn't to happy about it but we had no other way to go. Thats back in the days when B.S. was our Club sec. and handles all that paperwork stuff. Hope all is well. Mike
Check your facts. We were all AMA members before SFA surfaced. Some of us, like me, joined SFA and retained our AMA memberships because we thought it would help to support SFA; figuring, "Competition improves the breed." Some of us joined SFA and dropped AMA because it was cheaper to go that way. Carl Maroney wrote threatening letters to the clubs alright. It was also published in MA that there'd be no dual charters allowed and that no SFA members would be allowed to fly at AMA-club fields, on threat of expulsion. As I said before, we just figured that what AMA didn't know wouldn't hurt us.
It all happened, whether you knew about it or not.
Happy flying,
CR
