Academy of Model Aeronautics

Thumb thumbs.

And, and how many reports is AMA gonna have to filter through to get to a report-

Dead batteries

... that is a, a genuine failure of a component or not a component of, of the signal, you know, because of interferen- like, people, uh, like-

It's gonna be like UFO reports.

Yeah.

You can, you can-

Well, okay, I get it.

So if that just prefaced the subject with be careful about what you're going to hear about data centers and that that topic is is on everybody's mind, seemingly.

But there is a notion out there, and I'm wondering if you know anything about it, that the Academy of Model Aeronautics may or may not be involved with something, something that could be developed out on their private property.

Yeah, no, I have heard that.

I will say that I was made aware that something was... being discussed it's a private sale to a private company so private to private it has nothing to do with the city it's not even in the city limits uh they certainly own uh thousands of acres uh 1500 maybe i don't know but i've we're not a part of that process i've heard of it i've not had discussions with them it's private private there's a lot of steps that have to occur in order for it to become a reality i have had discussions with others of other locations, but nothing has gotten to any point to where anything is to the point where it would be discussed.

But before that, I was in Anderson at the Anderson Museum of Art downtown.

And before that, I was at the Academy of Model Aeronautics in Muncie, where they have their national headquarters for model aviation.

And so Fort Wayne, to me and to a lot of people in the nonprofit world, we really look up to what Fort Wayne has going on.

You know, a lot of great stuff, a lot of growth, a lot of trying new things, you know, just keeps growing so quickly.

We're going to talk about the big news that we all woke up to over the last couple of days, which is apparently...

The AMA, which if you're not sure what the AMA is, the – The AMA here in Muncie, Delaware County is the Academy of Model Aeronautics.

It is a nonprofit organization that is based out of 5161 East Memorial Drive.

It's online.

But I got interested into the flying models.

So my father and Mr. Joe Johnson found out the Academy of Model Aeronautics is an organization that's nationwide that controls control line flying for airplanes.

So...

My father and him arranged for us to go, me and Franklin, to go to Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, to a national firefighting event.
