About 15 years ago , I got bit real good by a twin engine I was trying to adjust, well I turned the claim into the AMA and they did pay, Now I cant speak for all the negativity that you all are expressing , but what I can say is no one forces you to renue your membership dues, but on the other hand if you want to do what you love to do which is fly and you have to fly at a club field and they say you have to have your AMA card , then the choice is simple , you either fly or you dont. but still the choice is yours , I have been to the Nats and Ive enjoyed the facility, but no one draged me there , I made the choice to go, so to hear you all wineing about never going  well again thats your choice.  The only thing I will say is the could have built it some where else other than Muncie, guys if you go there stay out of the strip clubs (nothing to brag about )   and the town isnt that much better lol lol but the people are frendly and the food was good.. and luckaly there was a bowling alley behind the motel .
