The council has informally discussed
holding some of its quarterly meetings

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. MA
In the spirit of flight.
