IN AN INTERESTING COINCIDENCE, I spoke with an AMA member in Florida (on the day I am writing this) who flew at the club field where and when I learned to fly. It was great to talk about those times and some of the people who flew there. If you or your club want to share a story that you believe could benefit some or all of our more than 2,000 clubs, I would like to hear about it and share
I want to share that in 2022, AMA and Model Aviation will put a greater focus on our clubs.
In the magazine, I want to offer success stories about growing membership, working with the community, training tips, and many other topics.
Clubs are important to the growth and well-being of our hobby. Clubs promote the hobby in their communities, and many even give back to local causes. They also teach people how to fly. Clubs do so many great things that I don’t have the space to mention them all here.
