On July 17-19, I attended the annual District II Fly In hosted by the Sky Rovers Flying Club in Phelps, New York. The Sky Rovers worked hard to prepare for the annual district event. Just before the weekend, the club finished its newly installed electric hookups for campers. While the weather was a bit sketchy, all kinds of model aircraft flew throughout the weekend. From jets to Free Flight and helicopters to Control Line, there was something for everyone. The Saturday night “club picnic” was a big hit, with more than enough food for everyone!

Because there are so many photos and a lot to report, the event will be covered in two parts. Look for more photos and details in next month’s column.

Remember, it’s not about what you fly, it’s about the friends you make.
