On the morning of September 6, 2025 the RSIC youth were invited out again this year to participate in the RRCC at the airport located in Hungry Valley. Thanks to HV Education, RSIC Youth Mentors that coordinated with members of the RRCC to hold the event. 3 lucky youngsters won beginner Remote Controlled Airplanes. There were demonstrations of very skilled pilots who flew jets, helicopter's and vintage airplanes. The club invited the community last year and now invites people to come visit anytime and maybe have an opportunity to fly an aircraft. It was fun watching and more fun flying! Thank you RRCC!
Thank everyone for participating, bringing food and cheering on our Pilots!
Lots of Warbirds and all around fun day! Happy Birthday Mel! and thank you for the polish dogs!!

We had a really nice day for the flying. The forecasts had indicated a bit more wind than wouldbe comfortable. As it turned out, the winds were light and mostly down the runway. The sunwas shinning and temperatures were more comfortable than they had been. Thirteen membersand three spectators showed up. There were eleven warbirds, two civilian aircraft, and threesport aircraft. We had plenty of space in the pits and a few gaps in the flying. Maybe we willpick up more flyers next time. ‘Lots of fast passes with big, beefy warbirds. The highlight of theevent was Jake’s big B-17, flying high and slow. Tell me that didn’t look real! The morningwas capped with BBQ brats. A great big thank you to everybody who organized, cooked,cleaned, set-up, tore-down, flew, crewed, and spectated. It was a fun morning.
