MUROC1 I CANT BELEIVE THAT YOU JUST PUT THE BLAME ON THE MEMBERS OF THE AMA... COME ON. THE TRUTH IS MOST OF THE BLAME FOR THE LOST OF FLYING FIELDS ARE DUE TO THE CITY, STATE, COUNTY OR WHAT EVER THEY FEEL THAT THE PROPERTY IS WORTH MORE TO THEM THEN A FLYING FIELD.. WE LOST OUR CITY FLYING TO THE PARKS AND REC. AND WAS TURN INTO A SOCKER FIELD AND AS FOR THE BOARD MEMBERS OF THE AMA THEY NEVER EVEN SENT A LETTER TO HELP. I AM A MEMBER OF THE AMA AND HAVE BEEN FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND THE ONLY REASON IS FOR THE INS.
Are you saying that someone living in NY, like the president of AMA, is supposed to know what is happening in OR? Do you think that is a realistic expectation? I think way too much responsibility is placed on this magic thing called the "AMA" (whoever people believe it to be) to do things that we in our local communities should be doing and helping ourselves.
I know fields are lost for many reasons, but when people say it was the "AMA's fault" then it's you and I that are to blamed because
WE are the AMA.
