Well in less than 5 minutes I renewed my membership with the AMA for 2024. Now means I have to live another year to take advantage of it. Can't beleive they are worried about me renewing. Guess they need the money to promote the drones. D>K

We NEED a national aero club and AMA is what we have.
At least we still have ONE flying field.
Without RC and drone income, Control Line would have a hard time keeping AMA in business.

I haven't flown since 1976 but have kept my membership up because I support the hobby and I want to keep my number, 62221.

Wish I had done the same. Not only did they lose my membership record, they said I never had my number in the first place. (1538).
They said it was a CD number but couldn't give me that one because it belonged to someone else since before 1980 and they don't reuse CD numbers. I just happened to still have a 1984 card clearly marked "Contest Director". They still insisted I did not exist. When I asked who had that number, they said they couldn't tell me. Luckily my original number from the 60's was available (15382) showing as having never been issued. I should have listed Drones as my favorite category, they would have fixed it on the spot! So, whomever has my number I hope they are winning! When I think of all of those contests that I entered and CD'd with a "fake" AMA card/number.
Lesson - pay your dues even if think you will never fly again.

Wow !! I assumed (wrongly, as usual) that since numbers are infinite, it would be one-and-done when a member number was issued. I thought when I rejoin I could have my old number back. Oh well, I'll just fly a bunch of planes with someone else's number painted on the wings. Not like I'm ever going to win anything anyway.

I guess I've been lucky. I've lapsed for several years twice and both times was able to get my original number back. I wanted my number back because it's easy to remember: ten, thirty-four, thirty-four (103434) and I had it on my free flight models.
Last time I renewed my membership (68 years old), I went for two years because I expected the out of control inflation to cause an increase in dues.
