Daren Hudson Biography

Man with a remote-controlled model airplane on grassy field.

I am the District I senior associate vice president (AVP) and AMA district outreach team (ADOT) coordinator. I've spent a lifetime in and out of the hobby. Back in 2010, I met District I Vice President Andy Argenio. In 2012, I became AVP for Government Advocacy and now have found great satisfaction in facilitating public and educational outreach through ADOT. I enjoy all disciplines of modeling, from micro indoor to turbine jets. I'm from Greenland, New Hampshire. 

Robert Paris Biography

Man in military uniform prepares to board a parked helicopter on a wet, muddy terrain.

I flew two tours as a helicopter pilot with the 48th Assault Helicopter Company. We were based out of Ninh Hoa, along the coast, just north of Cam Ranh Bay Air Force Base in Vietnam. I was drafted at 18, just out of high school, and completed the Army Helicopter Pilot program. I ended up being only 19 years of age flying armed helicopter gunships in Vietnam. My call sign was "Joker 70." I was born in Compton, California, and now reside in Lahaina-Maui, Hawaii. I'm retired today and still fly model airplanes. My AMA number is 15016.
