ROCKY
MOUNTAIN High-
Flying: Imagine
reaching an altitude
of 5,500 feet with an
RC model airplane,
engine racing to
compensate for the
thin atmosphere, and
no structures or
power lines to
contend with. What
could be more
exciting than having
your aircraft at an
altitude of 5,500 feet,
and it’s still sitting on
the tarmac?

IN THE DARK, damp, cobweb-strewn
recesses of my aging memory I’m getting a
vision of an early 2006 column in which I
was able to report the successful acquisition
of a flying site lease by the Conejo Valley
Flyers (CVF) of Ventura, California ...
Open space advocate and Ventura
County Supervisor Linda Parks was
instrumental in steering CVF member Joe
Martin to the property owners, the Seventh
Day Adventist Conference in Burbank,
California. At that point, Joe had more than
six years invested in his quest for a new
flying site for his club.

volunteer from Deland, Florida, was
presented the AMA District V Service
Award for his outstanding and ambitious
effort in attempting to develop the largest
aeromodeling park in Florida.
AMA News: Flying Site Assistance - 2008/03
IN MY LAST article I described the
incredible good fortune of the Sun Lakes
Model Airplane Club. For months
president Tom Tilley had been working
every angle he could think of to acquire a
new flying site for his club.
