Allen Vincent was nominated by his fellow club member and friend, Lance Mehle. Lance shared the following sentiment about Allen and his support:
"It is my privilege to nominate Mr. Allen Vincent of the West PASCO Model Pilots Association for AMA recognition. In a club of 137 members, Allen stands out through his exceptional dedication, extensive knowledge, and unwavering willingness to serve others. Simply put, Allen helps keep our club running.
Whether a task is large or small, Allen is consistently the first to volunteer. He takes personal responsibility for keeping our flying field well manicured, creating a welcoming environment that members can take pride in.
His commitment extends beyond the field itself: he even mows the county-owned area leading to our facility. These efforts reflect his belief that anything worth doing deserves care and attention.
Allen brings that same commitment to helping people. He is among the first to welcome new members, answer their radio-control questions, and help them feel comfortable at the field. He has devoted countless hours to teaching new pilots and helping returning pilots rebuild their skills and confidence after time away from the hobby. His patience and generosity make a meaningful difference to those he assists.
Among our 137 members, Allen’s knowledge of radio-control aviation is unmatched. Yet what makes him especially deserving of recognition is his willingness to share that knowledge freely.
Allen exemplifies the volunteer spirit, fellowship, and dedication that strengthen model aviation. His daily contributions make our club better, and we enthusiastically recommend him for AMA recognition."
