7th Annual Fun Fly / Remote Control Air Show
&
Lee Miller Memorial
September 13th and 14th - 2008
See Details From Previous Events Below

The 2008 Fun Fly And Remote Control Air Show is shaping up to be our best yet. From jaw dropping Helicopter demonstrations that will leave you saying "I don't think a helicopter can do that" to hair raising airplane manuevers. If you feel the need for speed, Jet Demonstrations will blow you away.  This event is fun for the whole family and if your a Pilot, we know you'll have a kick in the pants.

This year's drawing will be for a Balsa USA Citabria Pro. Landing Fees are $10 each day (same as the last 2 years) and this entitles you to Lunch for that day as well as an entry into the drawing for the Citabria. Additional chances are available and will be explained during registration the morning of the event. (Actual Plane Not Shown and is different color scheme. Does not include engine or electronics)

Here are some of the prizes available during the random drawings:

This event is open to the public, so bring the whole family. We'll have simulators available so you'll get a taste of flying R/C as well as a Training Plane will be available for you to fly with a SMAA "Buddy". 

This was our 6th consecutive year of the Lee Miller Memorial Fun Fly held at the SMAA Field.  This event continues to grow in and we had an outstanding event this year. Thank you to all the pilots that attended and supported our club. You generosity was tremendous! The club has great appreciation for Things With Wings whose generosity made this year's event such a grand success.

Here are some memories captured that day (more to follow), if you have any pictures I'd appreciate you sending them to me for inclusion here.

July 26th and 27th

Lee Miller Fun Fly - Lee Miller Tribute

Our 2nd Annual Lee Miller Memorial Fun Fly was held July 26th and 27th. About the only bad thing to say about the entire weekend? I think everyone ate way too much! Thank you so very much to Bill and Sue Messner and their family. In fact, thank you falls way too short for our appreciation for the weekend you setup and the food and fellowship.  Thank you also to all of those that helped make it such a great weekend!

We had visitors from Cheyenne Wyoming (Travis), Greeley, Bennett, Byers CO, Rick from Kimball Nebraska and even someone from Chino California! I'm terrible with names (next time a guest sign in sheet would be nice) so please excuse me for not remembering all of your names. SMAA was glad to have all of you there.

As the following pictures will show, there were several different types of aircraft and a few mishaps did occur. It was a great weekend and I for one learned a great deal more about our hobby/sport!

Lee Miller Memorial Fun Fly!  Over the years Lee was instrumental in the promotion of RC flying in our area.  Lee was always there to help the new guys, help maintain our flying field, and do what ever he could to help our club. Let us not forget that Lee served our country!  Lee flew away his military career in the belly of a B29 bomber.  Lee did not talk often about his experiences in the B29 but when he did all was quiet and those present were attentive.

 In RC fashion, we dedicated our flying field to Lee and fly in tribute to our fallen friend so that we might not forget those who came before us.  Please come and join us every 4th weekend in July to pay tribute to those who have come before us and served community and country!
