AMA IN ACTION Advocating for Members
Welcome to the Academy of Model Aeronautics' Advocacy Blog. As the FAA looks to regulate the use of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) and as Congress and state legislatures consider legislation with potential impact on the hobby, this site will keep you informed of the latest news, events and industry updates, and serves as an outlet to let your voice be heard by AMA and key officials nationwide.
On June 13th the media reported a “WWII bomber (the Liberty Belle) crashes, bursts into flames” in Oswego, IL. The photo to the left is the photo released by the media that millions saw. The photo on the right is the photo taken by the crew and passengers after a safe forced landing and egress from the A/C.
