National League of Cities conference
AMA was well represented at the National League of Cities conference held in Denver, Colorado. Hundreds of cities, including those in District IX, were represented. The hall was filled with mayors, aldermen, city council members, and other governmental agencies.
AMA’s mission at the conference was to identify potential flying venues that are available or underutilized in cities. Tony Stillman, our flying site assistance coordinator, led the effort with help from Sid Gates, Travis McGinnis, and Tony’s wife, Genie. Numerous contacts identified facilities in their communities that could possibly be used. Tony will close the loop with additional contacts and provide follow-up to the effort. This is a good success story in AMA’s efforts to provide for its membership.
Model Museum Flying Club
The Model Museum Flying Club in Colorado is a mature club, steeped in tradition, and, as are many clubs, is struggling to make ends meet. We wish the members the best in planning for their future.
Wichita indoor electric fly-in
Ken Stitt held his indoor electric fly-in in Wichita, Kansas, and it was a resounding success. There were 107 pilots who kept the spectators entertained during the three-day event. Ken plans to host the event again in 2011; put November 11, 12, and 13 on your calendar. You can keep up to date on event information by checking Ken’s calendar at www.clearviewfield.com.
