The AMA help's keep us within our right's to fly. They participate in the legal process of our Government, (FAA, FCC and so on) and keep all our voice's alive. They exercise our strength in number's. We need AMA.
Exactly right, love or hate the AMA without them we wouldn't be able to fly RC so freely, not by a longshot.
You guys might not be aware of this but every single day in Israel, 1 or more Palestinian is sending a homemade radio controlled plane into Israel with small explosvies. You think our goverment doesn't know about this? You have no idea how bad YOU need the AMA right now.
They know all about it, your more right than you know we had a total of 3 agent's up and flying a couple of year's ago, when paranoia was at it's peak.
Our main instructor had them up and flying in no time. This was an aid to them in realizing that we are just a bunch of crazy hellion's but were loyal patriotic hellion's and some of us actually served our country in war and peace time.
AMA
PR from all of us help's all of us keep flying. We shouldn't argue among ourselves's we should respect and defend each other whether we agree with each other or not.
To me, The P-51 will never be a worn out plane, it will alway's shine but that is just me and probably Chuck(There are old pilot's and there are bold pilot's but there are no old bold pilot's) Yeager.
Let's stand together or we might just fall apart.
Sincerely,
Joe Bartholomew
