Flying Aces — Fun-Fly (April 12, 2008)
With Lowe's Motor Speedway as the backdrop, the Flying Aces club kicked off its spring season in style when the club hosted its first Fun-Fly on April 12, 2008. It was a big success, with more than 35 pilots registered and at least an additional 40 spectators.
AMA District IV Vice President Bliss Teague was in attendance to support the club's new adventure. Thanks to "Humpy" Wheeler and the speedway, the Flying Aces have a great place to fly and meet new friends.
A number of Charlotte Aeromodelers came out to support the club at its new home. Please visit the Charlotte club's website at www.charlotteaeromodelers.org.

Charlotte Aeromodelers — 7th Annual Spring Fly-In (April 19, 2008)
The Charlotte Aeromodelers' 2008 flying season kicked off with the 7th Annual Spring Fly-In on April 19. The club members and guests raised money for two worthy charities: the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation and the Juvenile Leukemia Foundation. With 38 registered pilots, the club was able to donate $800 to the charities.
A big thank-you to all the guests and members who made it happen. And a big thank-you to our sponsors this year. Without their generosity it would not have happened:

- Hobby Stop
- Charlotte Aircraft Modeling
- Korben Homes
