<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Dear AMA
Members:<BR><BR>As many of you know yesterday, August 6, 2008 we took a big
step forward in promoting model aviation and the <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Academy</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Model Aeronautics</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>. <BR><BR>A little over
seven months ago when I became AMA president, I said that I wanted to get
model aviation on ESPN – and yesterday we accomplished that objective! While
this was a relatively short clip, and our ultimate goal still is to get
feature coverage of an aeromodeling event, we now have our "foot in the
door".<BR><BR>ESPN's daily show, "ESPN First Take," featured footage (provided
by AMA member Fred Midgett who is President of High Planes Productions) of the
2008 XFC and AMA All-Star Andrew Jesky flying his helicopter. ESPN First Take,
formerly Cold Pizza, is aired Monday-Friday from 10 AM-Noon ET on ESPN2.
<BR><BR>During the segment, host Dana Jacobson mentioned that she doesn't
think of model flying as a sport although she thought it was "very cool".
While many of us view modeling as our hobby, there are just as many of us that
describe today's aeromodeling activities as sport. Let's contact Dana, thank
her for featuring model flying on her show, let her know that competing in
championships such as the XFC is indeed a sport, and that we, as AMA members,
would love to see more model flying on ESPN. <BR><BR>You can contact Dana at:
<A href="mailto:espnfirsttake@espn.com ">espnfirsttake@espn.com </A><BR><BR>If
enough of us contact ESPN, perhaps we can continue to see model flying on
national T.V.<BR><BR>Sincerely,<BR><BR>Dave Mathewson<BR>AMA
President<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
