Board Member

Richard Torres

I didn't realize how much I missed the camaraderie until I met our Club Members.

When you get to the field with a ton of charged batteries and go home with all but 2 still

charged - because you spent the morning just hanging out with great people - speaks volumes about a group.

Thank you all for sharing your knowledge, your stories, your spare parts and mostly your friendship.

​

Airplanes!

Mostly WWII Warbirds, a glider and a jet. In a very short time - way too many not to consider some sort of counseling! Oh, and two helicopters which I've managed to chase myself into the house and garage with.
