December Meeting

Well folks, the days where we can fly outside are far and few between. The cold, wet season is here to stay for a few months-  time to start planning for 2017's flying season. MRFA will be meeting this Thursday, 6:00 at the Champaign Aviation Museum in Urbana, OH. Members are encouraged to attend and have a voice in the event planning for next season- and potential members are welcome to come and learn more about the association. Speaking of events for next season...

Now is the time to order your Tower Hobbies war birds for 2017 pylon racing! Free shipping and season deals can land you a Corsair or Hellcat for under $100. 

PLEASE RENEW YOUR AMA and MRFA MEMBERSHIP FOR 2017.

Pizza at the field!

The Association is sponsoring a pizza party at the air field for the girls youth soccer team we are sponsoring this year, Saturday, October 15th at 11:00 AM.  The team consists of seven girls ages 4 and 5.  All the players and their families are invited.  We plan on having pizza around 11:00 and would like to have some flight demonstrations for all who attend. It would be great if you could stop by for a bit, have some pizza, and fly for our guests.

Please let Mark M. know if you will be able to attend so he can order enough pizza.
