I've been going for the past few years and have had a blast. But it's looking like I may miss this year, Mark.

Interesting that no mention was made of limitations for turbine powered planes, such as 200mph max. It sounds like the AMA could decide (not that they need to) to allow speeds higher than 200 and the FAA can't say anything about it.

Not so much club politics as much as personal feelings, IMHO. An unfortunate situation, but the club is moving on.
