HAMPSHIRE COUNTY Radio Controllers
This club is located in the western portion of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, north of Westover Air Force Base. Each year the club has a scale fly-in. For the last two years it has been a two-day affair.
I attended last summer on Sunday, August 24, and the weather was beautiful, although a bit breezy. This area is hilly and quite picturesque. The field is well out in the open with few houses in the area. It is a nice, relaxing place in which to fly.
The event is well organized; there is ample seating for spectators and a concession stand is available. You should plan to attend. The event is usually scheduled approximately the third weekend in August.
Gordie Lauder sent me a newspaper article that was published in The Republican. It was a long, well-written piece giving model aviation and the Hampshire County Radio Controllers good publicity.
The event coordinator was Mark Mundie. Thank you, Mark, and all who helped with this event for a well-run operation.
Column Material Request: If you have material pertaining to any events held in District I, send it to me as I am running low on information.
