Meet our new Associate Vice President (AVP) for District VIII, Michael Hicks:
I spent most of my adult life sitting in the back of a U.S. Navy EP-3E Orion. On my first visit to the El Paso Controllers Club (EPRC), I met the former District VIII AVP and EPRC president, Paul Rucker. The members helped me a lot and, when my first trainer left the ground, I was hooked!
I am an event coordinator, contest director, and the EPRC president. I have hosted fun-flys. I am active in International Miniature Aerobatic Club, and my club hosts the EPRC SC/SW Smackdown.
I am now on my second term as club president. I would enjoy coming to your events and representing you as best as I can. Let’s make modeling the best it can be. See you around, District VIII.
Check out the events in District VIII. There are many from which to choose. Visit www.amadistrict8.org. See you at the field.
The Fort Worth Thunderbird Club in Texas is flying and freezing in 64° weather. (I don’t know how they can stand the cold!) (L-R): Fred Neal, Darrell Drake, Mark Davenport, and Moe Culverwell. (Back row): Clayton Neal, Melvin Bowser, AVP Johnny Hunt, and Finace Bogle.
These pilots are guests from Texas and visiting the Alamogordo RCers Club in New Mexico. They came here to enjoy the wide-open desert sky and our hospitality. (L-R): Terry Ott, Fred Sweet, Terry Widick, Mark Barton, Cliff Town, Craig Davis, Harry Johnson, and Glenn Herring. Photo by AVP Steve Shipley.
On a sunny day in Texas (L-R): Kevin Almond, safety officer; Larry Peck, treasurer; Doug Hurn; Grant Schroeder; Tim Ott, president; his father, David Ott, vice president; Reed Krauss; AVP Johnny Hunt; Jason Adams; and his 5-year-old son, Andrew, who is also a pilot.
