Lee County - Airmasters Model Airplane Club

Airmasters Model Airplane Club invites you to attend our annual Spring Fly-in.  This remote control flying event will be on April 22, 2006 from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm and will be held at our flying field.  Our field is located north of Albany and east of Leesburg, GA on Hwy 32E.  It's just east of the Lee County Public Works Dept., at the intersection of Mossy Dell Rd. & Hwy 32.

 

A significant portion of the proceeds from this event will benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

 

We have several exciting items to be raffled throughout the day.  There will be drawings for both the registered pilots and the spectators. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase the day of the event.

 

The first 30 pilots to register will receive a "Goody Bag" with an assortment of items.  The pilot registration fee will be $10.  A current AMA license is required to fly.

 

We’ll have a “trainer” plane and assistant available for you to try your hand at flying a remote control airplane, at no charge.

 

As always, we'll have coffee and doughnuts in the morning, hamburgers and hot dogs plus the trimmings beginning mid morning and soft drinks and water all day.

 

There will be a mid day flying demonstration with several types of RC aircraft.  There will be a jet, helicopter, aerobatic and pattern planes, plus a “U” control plane.  Mac Hodges (from Andersonville) and Dan Stevens will fly the B-29 and Bell X-1.

 

This event is FREE TO THE PUBLIC, so come out and watch some great RC pilots.  For additional information, please visit our web site at www.geocities.com/clubamac222/.

While traveling around the country meeting new friends and making conversation, the question of "where are you from" usually comes up. Most of us within about 30 or 40 air miles of Plains have at one time or another noted that our home is, when all else fails, "near Plains, Georgia." Most of what you will find on this site is located NEAR PLAINS, GEORGIA.
