Central Carolina Radio Control (CCRC) — Cub Fly-In
The Central Carolina Radio Control (CCRC) club in High Point, North Carolina, held another "Cub" fly-in this past summer. There were Cubs galore in all colors and sizes—if you are this type of fan, this is the place to be. Along with the flying and fun, there was plenty to eat at the snack bar, especially Hack's famous hot dogs. Robert Underwood kept everything organized for a safe and fun-filled day of flying. Everyone had a good time, and I do not recall a single mishap.
Steve Underwood served watermelon during the noon break. The pilots were from surrounding towns and clubs, and a few came from out of state to enjoy the event. CCRC awarded a number of prizes for pilots and spectators alike. The club is well organized and hosts several events throughout the season, ranging from Cub Day to racing, an Open House, and helicopter events. CCRC has been a Gold Leader Club for more than five years. When you are in the area, join in the fun—this is what modeling is all about.
West Hickory Aero Modelers — Warbirds Over Wilson Field
The West Hickory Aero Modelers club in North Carolina held its annual Warbirds Over Wilson Field in June 2008. Approximately 30 pilots from surrounding clubs and states attended. Models included those depicting WWI and WWII aircraft through modern-day airplanes. The weather was almost perfect—not too hot and with hardly any wind. CD Greg Hames kept everything moving calmly.
During the event, raffle tickets and 50/50 chances were sold to help defray expenses. Drowning Creek Fire Department handled the food and kept everyone satisfied. These events help their causes as well, increasing funds to purchase new equipment. A number of pilots arrived on Friday and were ready to fly early Saturday morning, getting in a full day of flying. Local merchants furnished door prizes for pilots and items for the raffle. If you are in the Hickory area, stop by, try out the field, and enjoy flying—the club will welcome you.
