1st Annual LVRC Lake Mead Float Fly
Our 1st Lake Mead Float Fly was a grand success. Held on 6 APR 24 at the Boulder Harbor, Lake Mead National Recreation Area we had a total of 14 registered pilots with a wide variety of aircraft (and even the Titanic cruising for icebergs.) This was the first time such an event was able to be permitted in the LMNRA and we appreciate the excellent cooperation of the park representatives who made it all possible.
This was an AMA sanctioned event and was also designated as a temporary FRIAS by the FAA and AMA.
Representatives from the Las Vegas Soaring Club (Al Badoux, President), The Propnuts of Las Vegas (Rex Bordwell, President) and our own Randy Dorn, President of the LVRC all participated. Barry Mattison, one of the AMA District X AVP representatives was the CD along with new CD, Randy D. Barry also provided and operated the retrieval kayak for the occasional upside down landing (mostly due to the winds).

Veterans Day 11 NOV 23
For Veterans Day 2023, our club and the Las Vegas Soaring Club spent the afternoon at the Nevada State Veterans Home. This is something we do each year to show our appreciation and admiration to veterans residents there, and to all veterans who served and are continuing to serve every day. This is a great event, and we share the spotlight with a local car club. Everyone had a great time, especially the veterans who were there and saw our presentation. Enjoy these pictures.

Mike Kissack Memorial Services
Memorial Services for Mike Kissack were held Saturday morning, July 31, 2021 at Bennett Field. There was a large gathering as people shared memories about Mike. AMA AVP's Gil Terzo and Barry Mattison officiated at the ceremony. Food and beverages were provided following the service as friends and family continued to privately share memories of Mike. Thanks to all those who came out and to those that got up and spoke.
Birthday Party at the field. 10 Oct 21
LVRC hosted an unusual event at the field on Sunday for a group of young guys interested in RC flying. As a continuation of our formal training program, four AMA certified IP instructors handled the group with ease. All of the boys were put on the simulator under the tutelage of Don, then a quick ground school with an instructor (Gil, Tim, Mike and Barry) and then up, up and away. Instructors all supplied trainer planes and equipment for the day. The birthday boy (kneeling with Gil behind the plane) got to maiden his own plane with equipment generously donated by LVRC club members and a radio supplied from Larry (Propnuts-North Vegas).
Even a few of the dads got to try their hand at the sticks. All in all, we think everyone had a great time.
Many thanks to the club and instructors for putting this special event together.
If you are interested in a similar experience for your birthday send us an email or call.
