Default How Much of Your AMA Dues Should be Spent on the National Flying Site?

They should spend the money at the grass-roots level where clubs are struggling to keep flying fields.

The way things are going now, especially in California is that we will only have one flying site......and that will be the national one at the AMA HQ.

Too many fields are being lost or severely restricted in their operation and the AMA does not seem to be doing any lobbying or providing any assistance at their level to stop this happening.

Forget about the white elephant in Muncie. It won't do any good when there are no fields left for regular club members to fly at.

I would guess that the majority of AMA members will never even get to see the field/HQ let alone even being able to fly there.
