AMA Expo

The 2016 AMA Expo was held January 8-10 in Ontario, California. A family emergency required my presence in Florida at the same time and I missed the show, however, we have several video interviews with manufacturers, as well as air show pilot Skip Stewart and race car driver Juan Pablo Montoya. Visit www.ModelAviation.com to see all of the coverage and learn more.
Toledo Show
During the past couple of years, AMA’s Media and Publications department has maintained a booth at both the AMA Expo and at The Toledo Show: R/C Model Expo in Toledo, Ohio. The purpose has been to allow for increased interaction with our readers, to answer questions, and to receive feedback from you. If you plan to attend the Toledo event on April 1-3, please stop by and say hello and let us know what you think of Model Aviation and Park Pilot magazines, our website, and our newly launched AMA Air. If you are unable to attend, be sure to visit www.ModelAviation.com to see what exciting products were unveiled during the show, and the inside scoop directly from manufacturers and distributors. Feel free to leave comments, ask questions, or directly email me.
Thank You
If you regularly read my editorials, then you know how much I enjoy this hobby and have an appreciation for anything that flies. I’m proud to have been in the hobby throughout my lifetime and have met a lot of wonderful people. I have had the good fortune to go from an AMA member to an AMA member and employee. Turning my passion into a career has been a blessing.
I am also fortunate to surround myself with talented people here at the AMA—from our staff to our extended family of contributors. Together we try to bring you balanced coverage of all things aeromodeling related.
As we begin a new year, the 80th for the AMA and my eighth as an AMA employee, I want to thank you, the member, for your support of our organization and allowing us to share our passion and enthusiasm with you.
