In sunny, warm Southern California, the Palomar RC Flyers club hosted the 2022 San Diego Heli Fun Fly. Club President Joe Villarreal shared that 72 pilots from across the country participated and made the heli event at Johnson Field a time to remember.
Thanks to the many individuals who worked tirelessly to put this on. Special kudos to Satinder Dhindsa, Scott Dedic, Don White, Eric Armstrong, Austin Heilman, Matt Boeteler, Hal Meeker, Patrick Pranica, Lorie Azar, Ron Schuyler, and Kelvin (Tex) Phoon. They couldn’t have pulled it off without you all.
with many camping on-site and participating in the night flying.
The Pomona Valley Model Airplane Club hosted the engineering student team from Cal Poly Pomona as they built and tested a blend-ed-wing aircraft under the direction of the Northrop Grumman Collaboration Project.
This brought together a team composed of many engineering disciplines to design, build, and fly a special-purpose aircraft on a simulated mission to carry and drop a ground-transport vehicle that was to locate and transport an injured person for retrieval by another vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft.
As with any experimental aircraft and process, not everything always goes according to plans.
It is great to see these young engineers working together on a multifaceted mission and developing real-world individual and team skills as they develop their career paths.
Feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, recommendations, or issues. There is much to share throughout the district. Enjoy everything you build and fly.
