The American Airlines Gas Model Club (AAGMC) has been in existence for 65 years. Although this longevity can be attributed to many club members, one member has certainly been a catalyst. Larry McFarland recently retired as the newsletter editor. Through the years, Larry read thousands of Radio Control (RC) articles and shared portions of that information through his informative newsletters. The club members want to pass along their heartfelt thanks to Larry for sharing his gift with them for many years.
The Black Sheep Squadron of Northeastern Pennsylvania feels it is important to recognize accomplishment in its members, especially youth. As part of their WINGS program of flight instruction, members have their pictures taken for Model Aviation. It is one way to recognize the efforts needed to become proficient fliers.
Frank Noll is at it again with the International Extreme Flight Championships. This is the Super Bowl of freestyle aerobatics for airplane and helicopter pilots.
