Angelo RC Field Day
Please help us maintenance our airfield prior to our Annual Outdoor Fly-In on Saturday, October 7th at 9am. We will be cutting the grass, pulling weeds and trimming trees, so bring your work gloves, rakes, weed eaters and chainsaws if you have them. Usually, it takes about one to two hours to complete the work depending on the number of volunteers, however, any time you can spare is appreciated. Hope to see you then!
