I WANT TO thank everyone who took the
time to fill out a ballot and vote for me! I
appreciate your support and will do my best
to continue to represent you to the AMA
nationally.
I have a large area to cover and have
some great associate vice presidents (AVPs)
who work with me.
Please give these guys your support as
well. They love model airplanes, and that is
why they are doing what they do.
Not only were there airplanes, but roughly
20 helicopters flew almost all day, too!
Club president Randy Gantt (far right), along
with assistance from fellow club members,
helped ensure that everyone had a great day
at the flying field.
Coastal Planes R/C club secretary Kimberly
Bonner served in the transmitter impound.
Bret Roles and Patrick Ulmer worked
tirelessly and with big smiles in the food
tent.

The weather was perfect—70° and note the wind sock, no wind! A number of pilots turned
out to enjoy the event.
Congratulations to Dave Mathewson on his
election as AMA president. I have had the
pleasure of sitting next to Dave at Executive
Council meetings during the past three
years, and I have learned a lot from him. He
is hard working and always looking toward
improving AMA and its services to the
membership.
I have great hopes that we can make
many good things come to pass!
After I moved to Brunswick, Georgia, I had
to get plugged into a local club. It took
awhile to get everything situated so that I
could enjoy flying again.
When I did I found a great group of
modelers in the Coastal Planes R/C Club.
They are a small group, but they are big on
fun! Isn’t that what it’s all about anyway?
The club held its second annual Fly-In on
November 17, and I was happy to attend and
take part. In all, it was a successful event
and shows that even a small club can
organize and host a great fly-in. All it takes
is teamwork.
I am proud to be associated with this
group and I’m looking forward to many fun
days at the field together in 2008.
