Pilot Challenge Day October 12, 2024
Please mark your calendars for Saturday October 12, 2024 between 9am and noon for our LVSC Pilot Challenge Fun Fly Event.
We will have various timed contests for gliders, fixed winged and helicopters. We will have some helicopter hoping, airplane limbo, glider skid to stop and some streamer cutting fun. We are working to have some prizes donated by Friendly Hobbies too..
Grab your favorite aircraft and come out and show off your piloting skills and spend some time with great people in the fresh air..
Bring the fam, a chair, something to drink and a snack as watching is as fun as flying.. The club will donate muffins and cold water. See y'all there..
