The Susquehanna Valley Modelers recently received an AMA Club Recognition and Reward Grant for $75. The club is located in Melton, PA. The club hosted the fly-in to allow its members a chance to fly together and invite the public to learn what modeling is all about. 20 pilots attended the event to show their support and fly. The planes flown were made out of a range of different materials from plywood and balsa to foam. THey ranged with wingspans of a couple of feet to up to 12 feet. This event wasn't just like any other event, however. During the fly-in, President of the Susquehanna Valley Modelers, Dave Hughes, and Treasurer, Diana Yarlet, got married on the airstrip of Kaboodle Road. With a passion for the hobby, the two couldn't have imagined a more perfect place to tie the knot. 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.
