District III
Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia
Spring 2024 started out wet for many clubs in District III, and several experienced flooding that caused considerable damage to their property. District III associate vice president (AVP) and secretary of the Flying Wing Nutz of West Virginia, Mark Radcliff, sent the following:
On behalf of the Flying Wing Nutz of St. Marys, West Virginia, we want to thank the AMA Foundation for approving the Disaster Grant to help the club get back on its feet after having not one, but two floods in April 2024. Club members made all of the repairs. Although the damage was greater than the amount received from the grant, we are grateful that it covered a substantial portion of the necessary repairs.
The following was submitted by District III AVP Tony Hausk:
On Sunday, June 9, the Mentor Area Radio Control Society (MARCS) held its annual Ken Page Memorial Fun Fly. The field is named in Ken’s honor.
The following was submitted by District III AVP Joe Vislay. Joe visited a few clubs this spring for some of their fun-flys. The Lima Area Radio Kontrol Society (LARKS) in Ohio has been hosting all types of fun-flys for years. On June 9, the club hosted its annual open house.
LARKS president and contest director, Rodney Metz.
District III AVP Jim Martin invited us to have an AMA table alongside the Buckeye Aero Squadron’s static display at the 2024 CenterPoint Energy Dayton Air Show on June 22 and 23.
We passed out club and AMA information and chatted with a lot of youth and their parents who were interested in aviation. The temperatures were in the mid-90s, but the AMA members and crowd enjoyed the air show.
