Kids Fly at Library Day is a very popular public outreach event.  Throngs of kids of all ages come out to the field and fly R/C trainers using buddy-boxes (dual controls) watched over by experienced WMAA pilots.  Everyone enjoys a free lunch of soft drinks, hot dogs and chips supplied by the club. This year it was held Saturday, July 24 at Dinneen Field from 9 am until 2 pm.  Be there next year for a great time!

The club's IMAC Challenge will be held Saturday and Sunday, May 29th & 30th.  Some of the region's best RC pilots will be taking to the skies in friendly competition.

Note that the field will be closed to non-competitors during that time.
