O.K. Park Fliers, et. al. that want to get your selves NOTICED:
Are you ready to get OUT of the box?
Here is an idea that you could accomplish. STL has the organization already ready to go for it. With a lot of you parkfliers, getting organized with all your buddies, you just may be able to leave AMA's little box for enough time to more than compensate for what happens when the times change.
You guys need a National Figure to underwrite you and be a Spokes-Person for all the good that you do. Now just who is in the publicity-news a bunch these days? This one has a record of being famous in aviation stories. He has a great interest in aviation, and a greater interest in obtaining more and more favorable publicity.
This one is an owner and solo-qualified pilot of a Nort American P-51D Mustang, USAAF Serial # 44-12840, N51EW. (WARBIRD DIGEST #8 May/June 2006)
In addition, Air Classics, June 2006, reports that this person has signed an agreement with the Commemorative Air Force that this person will assume SPONSORSHIP of the CAF's rare North American F-82B Twin Mustang.
With such an interest in aviation, such a desire to be famous as the celebrity news functions report, is it not very feasible that a well organized, albeit it small, organization could obtain favorable attention for sponsorship of a group that teaches inner city and urban youngsters about model aviation, and something beyond basketball?
I think you guys have a great opportunity available if you should work up a group, then make a sophisticated proposal to the one and only Mr. TOM CRUISE.
There you have financial assistance and NATIONAL RECOGNITION just waiting to happen. If you want something go and get it.
