Addendum: As I said, I am pro AMA all the way, they are the national organization that connects all of us who like to play with airplanes.
What I would like to see is for the AMA to be more forthcoming with info on claims paid and in so doing, justify to the membership the premium increase. I looked at the financials posted and I see that about $500,000 or so was spent for insurance last year but I never could find any info on claims. I am sure this is out there someplace, I just don't know where to look. In my 20 yrs or so in AMA, I don't know of any claims.
And let me be clear about where I was coming from on earlier posts: I know I am responsible for what I tear up and for that alone I want the AMA insurance and the HOwners and anything else........I am just not ready to accept responsiblity for what you tear up.
Finally, it wouldn't hurt to have the magazine broken out so if you don't want it, you don't have to take it. Personally, I like it.
