Congratulations to Mike Rowe (Lancaster, PA), winner of this year’s AMA Foundation for the Future Sweepstakes. Mike has won a ride in a P-51 Mustang during AMA Expo West in Pomona, CA.
Mike is excited about this opportunity. "This is awesome," he said. "I'm very excited! Since I was a boy, I've imagined how cool it would be to fly in a P-51 or a Corsair. Thanks AMA!"
Mike started building drones about six years ago as something to keep him busy during the winter. About two years ago, he got into airplanes. He enjoys building them and he is gradually getting better at flying. He recently renewed his membership with AMA for his second year. As he started out with drones, his main focus is on RC airplanes right now.
Mike is a Property Manager for his family business of Mobile Home Parks and Self Storage. Even though the hobby doesn't directly impact his job, he occasionally looks for an excuse to get out of work and go flying.
Again, congratulations to Mike!
