Column
I am writing this column as winter comes to a welcome end. The snow is finally melting away, providing access to flying sites for the start of our 2011 flying season.
In continuing AMA District I’s mission of sponsoring a variety of flying events, we have been working with clubs to host and plan these events.
Two of our annual popular events have been sanctioned and are advertised in this column. In future columns expect to see ads for other awesome events celebrating AMA’s 75th Anniversary, including the new Snap-A-Saugus 3D Showdown at the Gardner Airport, July 28–31.
Contest Coordinator
Barry Schubert has retired as District Contest Coordinator. On behalf of the AMA, I would like to express our appreciation for the six years and more than 700 sanction applications that he processed.
Barry has participated in the planning and running of nearly all of the district-sponsored events. He has accompanied me on AMA trips throughout the country, helping out at trade shows and providing advice on AMA issues.
He will be retiring from Raytheon after more than 40 years and will have more time to enjoy his family, friends, and aeromodeling activities. Good luck, my friend!
David Surwell has been appointed the new District I Contest Coordinator. David is a member of the New Hampshire Flying Eagles and the Portland Prop Snappers clubs. In the past 10 years he has served in nearly every club officer position as well as a flight instructor.
David considers himself an all-around pilot enjoying all types of flying styles and aircraft. He admits that for him the best part of the sport is the camaraderie: making new friends, and talking about their airplanes, building, and flying techniques. We welcome David to the District I officer team.
All sanction applications should be sent to: David Surwell 24 Norwich Rd. Nashua, NH 03062
