Chico Romero and his wife, Deanna, can be seen at events across the district. They have four kids. Chico is a retired U.S. Air Force crew chief. His duties included the USAF Thunderbirds and the East Coast A-10 Demonstration Team. He served in action in Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom. An AMA Leader Member, contest director, and past club officer, his interests stretch from Soaring, helicopter, and warbird events to fun-flying. He is currently working on his jet waiver. Chico is a great asset for District VIII and the AMA, and he is here to serve you.
The Prop Nuts R/C Flying Club held its Flea Market Fly-In on April 15, 2023, at the club’s field near Crosby TX.
The Greater Southwest Aero Modelers Club hosted a fun-fly for biplanes. The turnout was spectacular.
