3dbob37n....Don't feel too sorry for me. I have had a life-long love of aviation. Currently I read Private Pilot, Plane & Pilot, Flying, FAA Aviation News, several ad-free full scale flying newsletters, and Model Airplane News along with tech articles in AMA magazine, etc. I don't think I'm missing out on too much. What I should have phrased better was I don't care much about regions, records, etc. The regions are so big I don't know who the people are.

So I think we're on the same page as far as the aviation side goes. I just have a hard time with the organizations that represent us. In another thread here, people are commenting about the departure of a new guy at AMA headquarters that was supposed to bring new life to the organization. That's the thing I'm talking about, not the technology or aviation per se.
