Every year the Club participates in several activities and
exhibitions that give us the
opportunity to show off many of the clubs airplanes, show off our flying
skills, and discuss with the
public the thrill of flying and building model aircraft.
Boy Scouts June 13th Display
Here are some pix from the boy scout encampment on Saturday,
June 13. Jeff and Steve McCarter, Robert English and Geren Mortensen
spent the day wowing the scouts with our planes and info. There were
about 70 scouts attending, plus 30 or so adult supervisors. Most of them
visited our display; several completed the basic requirements for their
Aviation merit badge, thanks to the excellent tutelage of Jeff and Steve (both
of whom are full-scale pilots, so they could talk with authority about full
scale aviation).

April 10th Work Day at MARKS Field
April 10th was work day at the field to get ready for the
2010 flying season. Below are several pictures of members and activities
associated with that effort. Click on photos to enlarge.
March 23rd Earl Filippelli hosted BBQ
From March Newsletter
 
Earl presented us with Wings and BBQ, deviled eggs, awesome
cake, cookies and more. No complaints about anyone being hungry! I had several
people approach me with request to make sure Earl got the recognition he
deserved in the newsletter. WAY TO GO EARL for getting our 2010 BBQ season off
to a great start.
Jason Yoder III and Jason Yoder persist and
make fun fly work
During the BBQ Jason Yoder III, assisted by
his dad Jason Yoder, made a great effort to get
contestants for the funfly. Being a little on the windy side and due to other
issues many were not entering. A prize was added to try to get more contestants. The final count was 3
contestants, this worked well as the crowd seemed
pleased to watch the contestants struggle with the
conditions and contestants themselves had high odds to
win the prize. Unfortunately during the
first event, climb and glide , a plane didn't make it back to the runway, sustaining damage too far to continue competition. Lester Morris came in first place
to win the prize, a very nice airplane restraint shown below.
