The Academy of Model Aeronautics has awarded a $75 Club Recognition and Reward Grant to the Celina Flying Sportsmen of Ohio. The Celina Flying Sportsmen Radio Control Club hosted its 29th annual swap meet at Celina High School on January 3, 2016. Model aircraft enthusiasts from multiple states attended the swap bringing odds and ends from their attics, garages and workshops. 
The swap meet received coverage preceding the event in the Celina Daily Standard on December 30, 2015. Additionally, final coverage of the swap was featured on the front page of The Lima News (pictured right). The club’s recent initiative – offering free flight training on Wednesday evenings in the summer – garnered attention in both newspapers. The club also works with the Boy Scouts, teaching them how to operate remote control aircraft. The AMA Club Recognition and Reward Program was established to encourage clubs to promote model aviation. The AMA offers clubs cash incentives for positive local media coverage for a public event, public service, club announcement, or other coverage. Click here to learn more about this program.
