This is for fun and bragging rights on social media only.<\/li>\n<li>18 clubs participated in the first National Model Aeroplane Contest, but only eight of these clubs regularly posted their results to <em>Aerial Age Weekly<\/em>, although not all of these eight clubs posted their results for all three contests. Competitors will only be listed for the events they competed in.<\/li>\n<li>It is historical knowledge that the Illinois Model Aero Club won the Villard Trophy in 1915. Thus, to stop everyone from only every choosing the IMAC members, the clubs have been assigned color names at random \u2013 for example, the Orange Club.<\/li>\n<li>There were several mistakes and typos in the results published in <em>Aerial Age Weekly<\/em>. After sorting through everything and doing a lot of math, museum staff can confidently say these typos (except in one instance) did not change who won any of the events. Thus, the results are being shared as is, direct from <em>Aerial Age Weekly<\/em>, typos and all.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Interested in participating? Great! The competitors and scorecard for the first event, Hand Launched Distance, will be posted on 7\/16\/2015. Don\u2019t forget to share your club and brag about it on Facebook and Twitter using the hashtag #FantasyFree Flight.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amamuseum\/fantasy-free-flight-1915\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2395\" src=\"https:\/\/amablog-modelaircraft-org.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2015\/07\/FantasyFF_main_pg_link.jpg\" alt=\"link to main information page for #FantasyFreeFlight\" width=\"258\" height=\"49\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information on the National Model Aviation Museum, including our location, hours and admission fees visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.modelaircraft.org\/museum\">www.modelaircraft.org\/museum<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This summer the National Model Aviation Museum is hosting an on-line event titled \u201c#FantasyFreeFlight\u201d based off of the 1915 National Model Aeroplane Competition.\u00a0 (Learn more about the structure of the competition here). \u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Each week, we\u2019re going to post the competitors that competed in each of the three events in [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":2386,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[180,54,126,47],"tags":[255,178],"class_list":["post-2401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fantasyfreeflight","category-free-flight","category-game-time","category-museum","tag-fantasyfreeflight","tag-villard-trophy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amamuseum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amamuseum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amamuseum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amamuseum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amamuseum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2401"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amamuseum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2401\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2447,"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amamuseum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2401\/revisions\/2447"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amamuseum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amamuseum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amamuseum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amamuseum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
