BasinBum,
Thank you for the response.
Ok I do fly, granted not multi thousand dollar jets , but my toys do have in excess of a thousand dollars in some of them.
Yes I am a part time park flyer, and yes I have my own private field for the bigger stuff.
I own aprox 225 acres of ground in the middle of nowhere.
Tell me.......why do I need the AMA? And I mean this in a good way, I honestly don't know what the AMA would do for me. Help me out here. Why did you join? Is it worth what you pay?

And again I ask, even though you and Lou answered part of it. The gentleman,Horrace, I believe is his name, is running for office. Is this the type of person who rules at the AMA?
Maybe I'm wrong, and it won't be the first time, but isn't a leader supposed to lead, not abuse the members of his group? Granted, he was not alone in the verbal abuse going on, but shouldn't someone who want's to lead, be able to take the abuse, and diplomaticly answer?
I don't know as I've never been a member, maybe it's always been this way.
Again It's just the way I see it looking in from the outside.
Thanks again for taking the time to read this.
