My AMA number is 17930 - from the mid 50's. This was the number I assumed from my older brother who was the NAT's free flight champ for 4 years running. All I did was send an e-mail to the AMA and requested that my current number be replaced with his old number. DanJohn Derstine [EMAIL

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. Life
