I have been flying for 40 years now and attended my first/last IMAA Fly-in this year. I had no idea I would have to join the IMAA just to fly at the fly-in. That's ludicrous. I seen no reason to pay a membership just to fly at an organized fly-in; that's what AMA sanctions are for.

I see no benefit from joining the IMAA that I don't get from AMA already.

I agree, IMAA had a place years ago for promoting large scale flying, but I get that every weekend at my club field.
