District VIII is always improving our service to you. Our new associate vice president (AVP) is Jason Perry from Arkansas, flying with the El Paso Country Flyers Club near Beebe, Arkansas, where he serves as the club safety officer. He will cover Arkansas, sometimes with his wife, Melissa, and daughter, Bethany. He usually flies military Scale, civilian, and sport airplanes. When you see him, give him a District VIII welcome. AVP Dale Womack is stepping down.

Mervin Ory displaying a large unfinished model airplane — Mervin Ory, of Church Point LA, from the Aeromodelers of Acadiana Club in Breaux Bridge, proudly showed off his amazing Wright Flyer. The warping wings and other exact scale details are amazing! Mervin has been flying RC for more than 50 years and is an avid builder. He said that “he always flies what he builds.” Photo by AVP Jerry Walters.
