The River City Radio Controllers recently received an AMA Club Recognition and Reward Grant for $100. The club is located in Louisville, KY. The 19th annual Wings for Kids Radio Controlled Air Show benefited the Norton Children's Hospital. The air show happened on Saturday, June 1st and Sunday, June 2nd at the Bill Fluke Airfield at E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park. Visitors saw exciting flying exhibitions including in-air dogfights and combat, aerobatic airplanes and vintage airplanes. The air show also featured nationally recognized pilots throughout the Midwest and beyond. There was fun activities for the whole family like candy drops from radio controlled airplanes, inflatables, face painting and flight simulators. Over the last 18 years, the River City Radio Controllers has raised more than $300,000. The AMA Club Recognition and Reward Program was established to encourage clubs to promote model aviation.
