Here we have the lineup of kids to get their
free gliders.
PADUCAH, KENTUCKY: Club #834, the
Paducah Aeromodelers, produced its fourth
Demo last July. The show began at 9 a.m.
with an hour of CL flying.
Charlie Reeves, Marshal Busby, and Mac
Henry put on a great show of Precision
Aerobatics and old time Stunt patterns, Bislob
hovering, 75-mph Combat, and a flight
with an FAI Combat aircraft. At 10 a.m., the
RC members jumped into the air.
Meanwhile on the CL circle, Randall
Hopkins and Jim Franklin helped almost
550 kids with their free hand-launch gliders.
The Demo’s are held in conjunction with
the Paducah Summer Festival.
