AMA News District V - 2010/03
Report from Paul Verger
Paul Verger, the District V associate vice president for Mississippi, sent the following report. Sounds as though it was a great fly-in!
Mississippi Coast RC Club Fly-In (MCRCC)
November 7 was the date of the Mississippi Coast RC Club’s Fly-In (MCRCC) in Gulfport, Mississippi. It was also the date of two other events within driving distance of south Alabama and south Mississippi. It was poor planning — I hope we all do better next time!
Jerry Gollott was the event director, and he had everything in good order.
This was a "fly-what-you-got" event, so there was a little of everything. Highlights included:
- Aircraft ranged from park flyers up to Giant Scale, and everything in between.
- Helicopters were also present — it’s always fun to have a lot of variety.
- Nathan Rische handled registration and also took pictures.
- Dickie Ober sold raffle tickets; he sold me a winner!
- The club raffled off $300 worth of $20 gift certificates good at Orange Grove Hobbies.
- Club chef Ron Johnson did the cooking on Saturday, as well as on Friday for the workers and Sunday for the monthly club meeting. It was all great.
The MCRCC has probably had larger fly-ins in the recent past, but I don’t think any were more fun than this one. Lots of flying and everyone had a really good time.
There will probably be another fly-in scheduled for April or May. See you there!
