For those of you who have not heard, on the last day of the Fly-In on June 18, John Brodak was inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame.  #^  #^

With all he's done for the CL community, I cannot think of anyone more deserving of this most prestigious honor.

Congratulations!!!!!

Right ON. John has been and always will be a WINNER.

Congratulations Mr. Brodak. We were going to meet 1 on 1 this just-past event. Wifey fell around 1st of March and broke an ankle. It has been a time-craving period, especially with a almost 5 year-old grandaughter to squire around. Of course I loved every minute of it.

Now I plan to be in Muncie on Wed, the 13th, through Sunday the 17th. Staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Anderson if anyone is throwing a party!   #^   %^@   LL~

John won the scale event and best finish. I talked to him at the nats, and he said it has been a good year. Could not have happen to a nicer Guy.

Thanks Bob

       I don't think there could have been a better choice than John.   He has been great for the C/L flyers and his annual event just gets better all the time........

More CL stuff available now than there every was. John has had a huge role in this. Doubt there ever was a bash like the Brodak Fest. Buzz and John insisting that it's held in their backyard, by the way. I can't think of a better testament to their desire to be welcoming hosts. Family. Our anachronistic hobby, mechanical on wires, a chunk of Norman Rockwell Americana, lives and breaths and is personal, amidst the glitz and high tech dehumanization of the contemporary. Thank you John and Buzz.
