The sparkplug of the month is John Miller from the Lake Whitney Aero Miniature RC Club, where he has served as club president since 2004. John founded the club and was instrumental in acquiring the club’s flying site, which features a paved runway and is located in Lake Whitney State Park. He has been the club instructor, safety officer, and built the starting stands for the field. As a retired law enforcement officer, it is guys and gals such as John who make our district a leader in AMA.
