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.
Carlsbad, CA gets a visit from the only flying B-24 Liberator *bomber* left anywhere in the world of the roughly 18,000 built. (There is one cargo B-24 flying.) The B-24 was WWII’s most widely used big bomber and was notably involved in the infamous Ploesti raid. This is the Collings Foundation’s B-24, Witchcraft.
