Thanksgiving is a time to slow down, reflect, and appreciate the things that bring joy to our lives. For those of us in the RC community, flying is more than just a hobby — it’s a source of friendships, challenges, and unforgettable memories. This season, we’re taking a moment to say thank you for the gift of RC flight.
🛩 Thankful for the Thrill of Flight
- The excitement of takeoff and the satisfaction of a perfect landing never gets old.
- Each flight — whether a smooth cruise or a daring aerobatic pass — reminds us why we fell in love with the hobby.
- Even the occasional crash teaches patience, problem-solving, and resilience.
👨✈️ Thankful for Our RC Community
- Club members who offer advice, spare parts, or a helping hand at the field.
- Friends who share in both our victories and our “learning experiences.”
- Mentors who pass down knowledge to the next generation of pilots.
⚙ Thankful for the Hobby Itself
- A wide variety of models to suit every interest — from scale warbirds to foam park flyers.
- Innovations in radios, batteries, and electronics that make flying safer and more reliable.
- The opportunity to learn new skills like building, soldering, and tuning.
🌅 Looking Ahead
As the flying season winds down and winter sets in, we look forward to what spring will bring — new projects, new challenges, and more time in the air. Whether you’re flying in the snow or storing your planes for the season, take a moment to be grateful for the simple joy of flight.
✨ Wrap-Up
From all of us at the York Area RC Club, thank you for being part of our community. We wish you a warm, happy Thanksgiving filled with good food, great company, and maybe even a little flying if the weather cooperates.
