johndou, I'm glad you understand the AMA has no national level marketing plan. However, your ignorance of the Jumprope people, inspite of their relatively extensive TV exposure, suggests that we should not immediately expect crowds to flock to our flying fields, should we get comparable exposure.

Anyone remember the good old days when, if you even entered the Nationals, your hometown newspaper got a press release? I think the people who caused that to happen are the group who have passed on.
