In our club I was elected most likely to re-kit an airplane two months in a row, I’m kidding; it was actually three months in a row.
Seriously, our club has a standing roster of officers; there are not annual elections, so it isn’t possible to be elected as an officer.
Now that is interesting. Just how are the club officers selected?
As far as an AMA field in District X, you are looking at an area 1000 miles by 750 miles. Even in the center of the area you would have 500 mile radius if you located the site in Nevada. We won't bring in Hawaii and Guam. Do you really think you could get the support of the guys in Arizona and Utah to put a site in the population center, around LA, where land is prohibitively expensive?
Having lofty goals are admirable, but having unrealistic ones waste everyones time and money. Of course given the make up of the left coast population (that brought us Waters, Boxer, Feinstein, Pelosi, Waxman) you might well pull off getting elected on the promise of an AMA flying site even if it is not attainable.
