Executive Director Jim Cherry
Happy New Year! In a few days, the Executive Council will be meeting during the AMA Expo in Ontario, California. If you plan to attend the show January 9-11, the council meeting will be held Sunday morning and is open to all AMA members.
The council has informally discussed holding some of its quarterly meetings around the country to allow more members an opportunity to meet the Academy's governing body.
As the winter winds blow across the National Flying Site here in Muncie, Indiana, we at AMA Headquarters are looking toward the new year and the many flying events planned across the nation.
As you mark your new 2009 calendar, use the following information to plan your aviation year.
Plan to take in as many aviation events as you can. There are thousands across the nation for your enjoyment.
In the spirit of flight.
