The AMA Joins the AOPA for the Promotion of General Aviation
During the “Golden Age of Aviation,” the nation’s youth idolized such industry leaders as Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart. As enthusiasm for aviation grew, small-scale aircraft building boomed in popularity, becoming both a fashionable hobby as well as an educational tool for the expanding career field. To support the growing number of enthusiasts, model builders founded the Academy of Model Aeronautics in 1936. Today, the non-profit organization continues to support its original mission: to promote the development, education, and advancement of model aviation as a recognized sport and worthwhile recreation activity.
