The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) has proclaimed Saturday as National Model Aviation Day, and over 200 organizations across the country, including the Coffee Airfoilers Model R/C Club in Tullahoma, are having special events to celebrate the day.
This year the proceeds from the event in Tullahoma will benefit the Disabled American Veterans organization.
The public is invited to attend the Coffee Airfoilers’ event, which will be held from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday, and will include flight demonstrations, free flight lessons, concessions and a raffle. The flying field is located on Wattendorf Highway next to the Arnold Golf Course.
Those attending will learn more about a hobby thousands of people share, according to organizers, and will benefit the men and women who are served by the Disabled American Veterans. It is suggested that those attending bring a lawn chair.
