Youth Day

Look at all the smiles on the kid’s faces at our Youth Day event!

They tell the story of what Youth Day is all about.

Thank you to each and every one of you who showed up on Saturday (you know who you are!)

To give your time, knowledge and talent (ok, some more than others) to give these kids a taste of the fun, the fun to be had flying RC planes. Hopefully it kindled an interest and desire in some of them to pursue flying and maybe even join our Club to continue the Legacy. I am truly proud to be part of a Club full of friendly, generous members. Thank you again.

You are all the BEST!!

George.
