SUGAR GROVE, ILLINOIS: At the
Treetown Modelaires annual Midwest
Regional Championships, I had the
privilege of giving Glenn Lee his plaque
placing him in the Model Aviation Hall of
Fame. Speed is his game, and his many
records attest to that.
Wright City, Missouri: The Wright
Flyers Model Airplane Club held its eighth
annual Float Fly and Static display at
Innsbrook Resort and Conference Center.
This event, hosted by the Boeing Phantom
Flyers and the Wright Flyers, attracted 14
fliers from five St. Louis-area clubs.
A wide variety of models were flown
including a flying boat, float-equipped
airplanes, and even a helicopter. A
highlight of the day was achieved when
five airplanes were airborne at the same
time. (I’m told they all got back down
safely.)
Innsbrook, located approximately 50
miles west of St. Louis, has included this
Float Fly as part of its Memorial Day
weekend activities for eight years. Many
local property owners and their families
witnessed the event and cheered the pilots
on as they demonstrated their flying skills.

Danville, Indiana: The Black Sheep RC
Modelers Club participated in the town’s
Fourth of July Celebration by offering a
display of models and a mini flying
demonstration in the town’s park.
Twenty-four aircraft were displayed.
The club members had two flight
simulators present so kids of all ages could
try their skills. Because of the size of the
park only a few Zagi flights and a
helicopter demonstration were flown.
One of the outstanding models present
was Raleigh Dobbins’ 1/3-scale Sopwith
Pup.
Information and pictures were sent in
by John Louden.
