144 MODEL AVIATION
THE WEST HICKORY Aero Modelers
held its annual Bob Wilson Memorial Fly-In
this past August. This event is in honor of a
deceased member and shop owner who
supported the club.
Airplanes of all kinds are flown because
that was what Bob enjoyed, especially the
Old-Timers such the Buzzard Bombshell.
CD Ernie Masche kept things in order.
Approximately 30 pilots came from far and
near.
The Drowning Creek Fire Department
handled the food chores as usual. This event
is one of their money-making endeavors to
support equipment costs, and they look
forward to it each year.
Prizes were donated by local merchants
for pilots and spectators. Also a 50/50
drawing was used to help defray expenses.
In addition to the club, one lucky person
profited by the occasion. Everyone is
already looking forward to next time.
