[NSRCA-discussion] FW: [AMA Dist V] DV VP Status

[Ron Van Putte]

Unfortunately, Tony is and (soon was) the only active competition  
pilot on the AMA Executive Council.  Well, sotra active or maybe semi  
retired or maybe "sure would like to but haven't done it lately"  
Pattern pilot.  Good luck Tony!

Now we've got to elect another competition pilot to the Executive  
Council.   AMA D-3 did its part, so why don't one or more districts  
get rid of the dinosaur who's your VP and help out R/C aerobatics  
within the AMA Executive Council?
