The weather couldn’t have been nicer for a float fly for those that stayed home because of the forecast really missed out! Yep the weatherman missed it. Saturday was a perfect day for a float fly.
We had 35 pilots signed in and a large group of spectators to watch and enjoy the day. To all of you that came out to support the event, a big THANK YOU!
We raised $700.00 for St. Baldricks Childhood Cancer Research and I’m sure we will do even better for them this fall.
Thank you again, Jim Manley A.A.M. President

The Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum held its annual “Aeromodeling at the Hangar” event on Saturday February 15th. This event is to help introduce the public to all forms of model aviation from modeling to free flight to radio controlled flight and was attended by clubs and hobby shops from up and down the Front Range. The Arvada Associated Modelers was well represented with a large group of members displaying planes, doing actual flight demonstrations, working a flight simulator, and visiting with people of all ages that were interested in RC flying.
