Lost Flying Fields? Does that question include how many public parks, school yards, parking lots with adjacent open land and other usual parkflyer sites have been lost to the RC community.

That number has to be orders of magnitude larger then lost AMA Club fields.
Indubitably. What can/should AMA be doing about it? Many AMA members use such flying sites, by choice or because there is no club site (or membership opening) in their locale. Seems like obtaining and keeping them should be at least as high a priority as it is for club flying sites.
I agree and therein lies the "Catch 22"........... If the AMA made the focus of the Parkflyer program to be the obtaining and keeping of Parkflyer sites, there would be thread after thread here about the evil plot of AMA trying to take control of Parkflyers..........
