District IV Report - 2003/11

Donald F. Rhamy, Stafford, Virginia, sent
me the following letter and photos.
“Harry Swain asked that I send you the
photos I took of our display at the
Fredericksburg Library’s 100th Anniversary
of Powered Flight [program]. Harry and
fellow aeromaster Bob Snelson coordinated
the April and May 2003, display.
Fredericksburg Library assistants Barbara
Harris (L) and Cathy Siymczak on April 13
shortly after the display had opened.
Above them are (L-R) Bob Snelson’s
radio-controlled Scale Consolidated PT-3,
a model of the one in the Air Force
Museum in Dayton; Harry’s Miss America
three-channel Old-Timer, and his Olympic II
Radio Control Sailpiane.
These photos show the aircraft
suspended from the ceiling from different
angles.
“The Aeromaster display ran from the
first week of April through the end of May
at the Fredericksburg Public Library.”
CORRECTION: In my August, 2003,
column, the Westminster Aeromodelers club
mentioned is actually in Maryland and not
Virginia as originally published.
Take a kid flying.
