The Academy established a program in the mid-1960s for local AMA members to join together as a group and secure use of private, commercial or public property for flying sites. This was structured under the concept of organized groups, which were identified as AMA Chartered Clubs. Today, the Academy provides liability coverage to approximately 2,400 chartered clubs throughout the United States.
Congratulations to AMA member Ed Runkel, member of The Jersey Coast Sport Fliers! Ed was awarded the Carl Goldberg Vital People Award at the club’s annual dinner this past weekend.
Below is a video put together by fellow club member Stan Berger of Ed’s life.
