I'm not sure I follow... whoz the "Gentleman" Bob referred to?

Did he flub the email and send it back to you when he meant to send it to someone else?

Its sort of a strange. 

 

Maybe they're hoping to not have any competition.  Is it s paid position?

 

I'm sure there are many loyal AMA members and that there must be some benefit from an organization.

But I don't see how you can say the AMA may be the only way to fly for fun.  I personally have no intent to follow any rules that prevent me from flying for fun.  I am not a hazard, I don't put people in harms way.  I fly in suitable spots.   I don't need no rules.

It seems like he he hit send without realizing it was going right back to me.

Reminds me of how often "sneeky people" eventually get sloppy and the truth comes out.

I have other examples but they were confidentially sent to me, in case the AMA threatens to sue me again for telling the truth.

The AMA is working with Congress and the FAA to ban all recreational use of sUAS except for AMA members.

It is the equivalent of forcing all gun owners to join the NRA or become criminals.

Please read my Blog for lots of info on this.(Inhofe Amendment and ARC recommendations to the FAA for a start)

Most AMA have no clue about anything and most of those that do know about it think the AMA should control all model aviation in the USA.

I was not supposed to get the email, proof of conspiracy IMHO

Got another reply from Brown:

"U were the wrong person, sorry!

Bob"

Hahaha.  You should run for the position.  I'd join just to vote for you.

The only people on the ballot have to be approved by the current ruling council.

Rarely is there nore than one choice for any position and the AMA refuses to publish the write-in ballot results.

Just like the good ole USSR, eh?

Yup, and emails last forever. Can't delete them from the internet like posts on a forum.

If any of the AMA's current "projects" ever get to the courts I am betting several AMA leaders will be doing time.

I am also betting that if the AMA gets what they want from the Govt, the ACLU will get involved and tear them to shreds. After 75 years of good works for all American hobbyists, I think the current leadership have turned it into an abomination. I guess all good things must end.
