Will, Mark, & Fly-In Crew: Thanks for your continuing commitment to making this one of the top aeromodeling events of the year. Hoping for another chance in 2021!

Post by: Naomi Macklem on March 29, 2020, 10:47:06 AM: I understand you have to decide now, as it takes months to do all the preparation and planning involved in the Fly-In. I appreciate you letting us know, as I was able cancel my hotel reservations with no penalty. Travel restrictions being what they are right now, Len & I are likely not going to be able to cross the border from Canada to the USA within the near future so we would likely have to cancel our trip anyway. Stay healthy!

They shut down the web site, model aviation takes another big hit. Hope they find the cure for this soon.

Post by: Fred Cronenwett on April 05, 2020, 07:20:40 PM: Toledo show & Brodak were cancelled. Swap meets and other contests in the St Louis area have been Cancelled. St Louis County Parks have closed all parks (that includes Buder Park) to keep people from meeting in groups. The Lafayette Esquadrille will be meeting on April 9th to discuss the contest calendar for 2020. Make no mistake this is a huge problem, there are people that have died and are some that are very sick. Follow the guidelines, stay at home so that we call fly again later in the year. I know that I don't want to get it!
