hehe, the reason why I resist AMA is because the members in my area are for the most part a-holes. I like to keep my time off nice and stress free. They have given me a very very bad impression about AMA. However there is a sweet county run air field (AMA) here in San Jose. I hear the people there are solid, so I might check it out. If I get a good impression from them, I will snag a membership.
I just like to fly and people leave me the heck alone and let me so my own thing
