178 MODEL AVIATION
Our third District V Jamboree was held June
22-24 in South Florida. Doug Jones, our
associate vice president (AVP) from the area,
reported on the event.
I was unable to attend because of illness,
but the event went well. I have heard only
great things about Doug and the Markham
Park Pilots Association’s hard work in
making this event happen! Thanks Doug!
“I am proud to announce that
the District V Jamboree, hosted by
the Markham Park Pilots
Association was a grand success!
The three-day event was blessed
with sunny—athough very hot—
skies. There had been threats of
rain but the anti-rain dance I did in
my living room worked!
“We had more than 110 pilots
register for the Jamboree, with
spectators numbering more than
1,000. Other clubs at the field—the
332nd Redtails and the Broward
County Radio Control
Association—provided helpers and
the Coral Springs Civil Air Patrol
Squadron provided us with cadets
to help with the crazy logistics of parking.
Both were greatly appreciated.
“We had more than 30 turbine jets grace
the field, along with a 12-foot DC-10! It was
a real crowd pleaser. There were so many
aircraft types that I can’t list them all!
“On Saturday we had a noon show that
included Combat, warbird, and 3-D
demonstrations. The warbird demonstration
was provided by the Palm Beach Radio
Control Association.
“To top it off we had a full-scale Russian
World War II Yak, a Lancair, and an
Aerocoupe do several low flybys. They were
definitely crowd pleasers.
“The free shirts provided by the AMA
were greatly appreciated, as was the free
barbeque for AMA members. They made
AMA members feel as if they were getting
something for their money and were greatly
appreciated by all of them!
“We held a daily raffle that was also a
success because we had fantastic donations
from the following companies: Futaba, Castle
Creations, Great Planes, Southeast R/C
Hobbies, Warrick’s Hobbies, R/C Hobbies,
E3 Enterprises, and CPC Caps.
“Without Tony Stillman’s help this event
would not have happened. I say for myself,
the Markham
Park Pilots
Association,
and all
participating
AMA
members, thank
you, Tony!”

IT HAS BEEN a busy
summer! I am very
pleased to announce
that I was married on
June 30 to a wonderful
lady, Genie. I have
moved to Brunswick,
Georgia, and opened a
second Radio South
R/C Service Center
there.
Genie has a 12-
year-old son Blake and
I hope he will get into
RC flying with me!
