BY THE TIME you read this, the flying
season will be in full swing here in the
Southeast. It will also be time for our
District Jamborees!
I hope you noticed the advertisement in
the magazine concerning our four Jamborees
scattered throughout the district. Each event
is designed as a celebration of modeling. All
types of models will be flown and/or
displayed.
All District V AMA members are invited
to attend and bring their models. The clubs
are working to provide a flying venue for
Free Flight, Control Line, and Radio Control
models. Everything from Peanut Scale to
Giant Scale and Turbine aircraft are invited!
There will be a free t-shirt for every AMA
District V member who attends the event—
even if you don’t fly!
I feel this is one way that, as AMA
District V vice president, I can give back to
local clubs and members. This fly-in type of
event will be a great way to get together and
enjoy the day at the flying field. I hope you
will plan to attend! You can find more
information about each of the events on the
host clubs’ Web sites.
Nick Ziroli presented the Model Aviation
Hall of Fame Award to Jerry Smith of
Acworth, Georgia, at the Wings Over Venice
event in Florida
this past February
17.
Jerry is a
lifetime modeler
was spent many
years working for
RC Modeler
magazine, the
International
Miniature Aircraft
Association’s
publication High
Flight, and Lanier
RC.
He is most noted for the Lanier Stinger
design which is still a popular airplane.
Congratulations to Jerry for this
achievement!

I received a note from District V member Lyman Slack about the Vintage Radio Control
Society’s 2007 Hal de Bolt Reunion.
“The annual Vintage R/C Society (www.vintagercsociety.org/) held its 2007 Hal de
Bolt Reunion in
early March near
Brooksville,
Florida.
“The
designated
Model of the
Year was the
1968 Trainer
Master by Lou
Andrews. The
photo shows the
collection of
Trainer Masters
presented and
their builders.”
