On Friday July 15th, the AMA announced that the House and Senate passed a 14 month FAA extension, "affirming our right to fly within the AMA's community-based safety program."
They continue to work with the FAA and Congress to strengthen our position.
This does not stop the requirement for FAA registration, so keep the EMail letter. I have laminated the portion of the letter with the registration info and keep it in my wallet.
We have been involved in introducing modeling to children of all ages, sending children to camp, doing flying demos at local schools, churches, and parks. We have also set up simulators and static displays at various locations as an educational experience to our community. We are always open to new ideas to promote our hobby to others in a safe way.
To promote model aircraft building and flying as a family oriented hobby, to freely and openly share what we have collectively learned and experienced, and to provide an enjoyable, friendly and safe environment for our fellow hobbyists and guests.
Wikipedia page on the F-104. Great history of the jet that first served with the USAF in 1958. (It was also the first plastic model airplane that I ever built, so it brings back fond memories.)
Political intrigue, scandals, world records, and it's German nickname, "Witwenmacher " ("The Widowmaker) make for an interesting read!
AMA Members can visit the National Model Aviation Museum in Muncie, Indiana. It is dedicated to collecting and preserving significant pieces of aeromodeling history.
Inspired by that great looking F-104 at the Nall, I went searching for one a little smaller and more affordable.
Motion RC has this kit coming soon. If you want one, you'd better pre-order. I have a feeling they'll go fast!
