Club Event Feburary 21, 2026
Great turn out! We had over 65 people show up! Whats even better is that there were a lot of kids. These kids are the future of our club and the hobby!
I have never seen the parking lot so full! It was a great sight.
Breakfast was awesome. We had eggs, bacon and hash browns! For lunch it was burgers, hotdogs, chips, potato salad. Food was great and we had enough for all! Thank you to all those that sent in the RSVP. It truly made the difference.
Swap shop was great. Lots of good bargins!
Raffles for the UMX A10 was a big hit as was the 50/50.
Thank you to all that attended and to all those that helped during and after the event!
We will start planning the next one ASAP!!!
Hope you enjoy the pictures.
Some of our Pilots!

WPMPA Community Awareness Project
Publix At Starkey Ranch hosted WPMPA so we could get the word out that we exist!
We were there from 9:00 am until 1:00pm on Sunday with a good selection of 13 aircraft. The folks that stopped by were very impressed!
We had a lot of interest! Hopfully some of those people made it to the field to see what the hobby is all about.
With the lessons learned from this event we are looking to do this again at The Starkey Ranch Publix very soon!
