I am a supporter of AMA clubs, I like flying there, and I am active in these clubs at many levels. I also like attending fly-ins, and IMAC competitions which require AMA membership. In fact, in general, I like being an AMA member and supporting my hobby. I am not an "AMA Hater" like many seem to be.
Well this is a far cry from your first response. I figured you wanted to join the AMA to be part of something other then your first silly ol reasoning of just "using" your local AMA club for a cheap way to get your birds in the air. This sounds moer like a normal explanation.
As far as the Harris directory, sorry but some members might enjoy the book, others ... well I guess we have some opinions. Luckily this forum is just a minority and no, it's not supervised by the AMA. That's why the AMA created districts so each district can maintain their own political views instead of turning it into a bit cluster ....
