District III
This month, the focus is on the priceless value of club flying fields with FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA) status, allowing safe flying exempt from Remote ID. Clubs are encouraged to install signs at field entrances to showcase this achievement. The Ona RC Club hosted a successful aviation event for local kids, providing full-scale airplane rides and RC flying experiences. The Champlain Valley Flyers welcomed new members and held impressive events at their new site. Additionally, the Uxbridge Youth Soccer League's RC Airshow raised funds for soccer field renovations, featuring skilled pilots and engaging activities.

Did you ever think about how you, a modeler, can utilize your time, talents, and models for community service? In May 2014, I received a call from a local resident who knew I flew RC, asking if I had a P-51 model that could be used as a display to honor veterans at a Memorial Day golf tournament. It just so happens I have P-51B Mustang that I concluded would be perfect for the occasion.

Fifty years. One-half century. By any measure, that is a long time and that is precisely how long one model club in the beautiful rolling hills of Western Pennsylvania has existed.
