This issue is the 50th anniversary of\u00a0<em>Model Aviation<\/em>\u00a0magazine. What a great accomplishment! I\u2019ve enjoyed reading this magazine from cover to cover for most of those years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I start with the district news, and then move to the event calendar so I that will be up-to-date with all that is happening. I then go to my favorite columns, which have changed throughout the years, and afterward, I read the product reviews. Now, I get to write in it every month! I want to thank all of you who read it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I attended\u00a0the Northwest Model Hobby Expo in Monroe, Washington, where I spent most of my time in the swap area. I\u00a0<em>really<\/em>\u00a0enjoy this event! I get to talk with many of the members and wheel and deal as well! There was a great turnout, lots of stuff to buy, and opportunities to sell. (I did some of each!) I got busy and didn\u2019t get many pictures, but I snapped a couple while setting up.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"385\" height=\"265\" src=\"https:\/\/amablog-modelaircraft-org.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/07\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amablog-modelaircraft-org.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/07\/image.png 385w, https:\/\/amablog-modelaircraft-org.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/07\/image-300x206.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"385\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/amablog-modelaircraft-org.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/07\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amablog-modelaircraft-org.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/07\/image-1.png 385w, https:\/\/amablog-modelaircraft-org.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/07\/image-1-300x230.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I traveled\u00a0to Muncie, Indiana, for the April Executive Council meeting and got to attend the Dayton ModelRama in Dayton, Ohio, the day before. It was a great event, with lots of buying, selling, and swapping going on. If you are in the area next spring, be sure to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I always enjoy seeing the Indy racer on display when I fly into the Indianapolis International Airport.
