John,
I rejoined AMA
back in 1995 and had a 6 digit number. I was originally a member in the
early 1970s, and I rummaged through some old airplane photos and found my
initial AMA number. I wrote a letter to the AMA, stating that I wanted my
“old” number, and they granted my request.
Does anyone know if Tim Renaud is still an AMA member?
I want his old number, which I believe he acquired
from his dad 666
