Because my club and the ones I fly at require it. I'm glad your happy with the "services" . I don't want the magazine nor the Muncie site. Since I pay dues and am a member of this organization I have the right to have a say how OUR money is spent. I'm sure there is a lot of waste( as in any organization). You posted earlier that you would not support the AMA funding local sites. Seems like that should be one of the "services".
rcmikejet, I am a natural-born citizen of the great Republic of Texas, which is signed on to an organization called the United States of America. I do not like such "services" that this organization funds such as all the liberal do-gooders living off the public dole, millions of other citizens that refuse to work and donate to the organization, sending our better youth to fight in wars which the organization's powers have no intention of winning (Korea, Vietnam, Iraq) Foreign Aid, financial control of state educational systems, and a host of others, YET I am conscripted to "donate" to the "voluntary" Federal Income Tax each year an amount equal to many many times what the AMA charges me to be a member of its organization.
In addition just how many flying facilities have YOU funded? If you had any clue reference the cost of acquiring and developing real estate, especially in the vicinity of larger cities, then even YOU might not be so hot to make such a remark concerning AMA FUNDING local flying sites. Now if you reverse the question, the answer is one (1). That's my share, and your cue. [>:] You're on stage now!! [X(]
