President's Perspective - 2010/02

We could learn a lot from each other by sharing experiences.
Congratulations to the 2009 winners of
The Academy of Model Aeronautics
Carl Goldberg Vital People Award.
In 1983, Carl and Beth Goldberg asked AMA
to help create an award to recognize special
people who do so much for model aviation at
the local level. As Carl described them, they are
“vital people in the background of the modeling
movement whose efforts enhance the
enjoyment of the hobby and whose
accomplishments are seldom formally
acknowledged.”

AMA News District II

FOR THE LAST few years it has become
almost common for clubs in our district to be
contacted by the local news media about
doing a story on model aviation. One would
think that this would present a tremendous
opportunity to promote what we do as modelaviation
enthusiasts. What we have found is
the result of these contacts has not always
turned out as we would have hoped.

A great flying season
Outdoor flying
events are
beginning to
wind down at
the International
Aeromodeling
Center. All things
considered, it’s
been a great
summer. Despite
drought conditions similar to what
much of the country has experienced
this year, and several days of stifling
100° or higher temperatures, our onsite
events this year went well.

District II Report - 2007/11

IT’S HARD to believe the 2007 outdoor
flying season is beginning to wind down
already in District II. By the time you read
this the Rhinebeck Jamboree, the NEAT
(Northeast Electric Aircraft Technology)
Fair, and the annual AMA District II Fly-In
will all be in the record books.
These events tend to signal the beginning
of the indoor season for many of us. A
number of our clubs have worked to secure
indoor facilities for the winter months,
which means that for us fair-weather
modelers, opportunities to fly are now
extended year round.
