I had the pleasure of spending the day at the Thunder in the Valley Jet Rally, hosted by the Associated Modelers of Sacramento (AMOS) in Sacramento, California. Special thanks to all of the volunteers who helped make this such a great event.
The heat of the week finally provided a slight break on Saturday. With the community invited, there was a full-scale Cub flown in on Saturday and on display. There was also a Mad Max Semi Rig and Car on display.
I met Dave Long, president of AMOS, at the Kings Canyon Jet Rally. He told me about the club’s four major events each year to raise funds for various charity organizations. At this event, three of the charities sent representatives to receive their respective donations.
The funds that were raised included $6,097 for the Placer Breast Cancer Foundation, $11,293 for Healing Heroes, an organization supporting combat veterans, and $6,401 for GiGi’s Playhouse, a Down Syndrome achievement center. It is such an incredible show of support for these groups.
Pilots from across the district and beyond came together to spend some time flying all facets of jet aircraft.
This event was the fourth major fundraising event of the year, collecting funds for the Wounded Warrior Project. Last year’s gathering raised more than $19,000, and this year’s tally is more than $27,000.
Feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, recommendations, or issues. There is much to share across the district. Enjoy everything you build and fly.
