Ravenna Thunderbirds RC Modelers Club lights up local skies

- Jeremy Brown

Shortly before sunset on Aug. 31, several Ravenna Thunderbirds RC Modelers Club members filled the skies with remote controlled aircrafts of varying sizes and models. The meeting continued after dark, thanks to colorful LED strip lighting attached to the planes.

Ravenna Thunderbirds RC Modelers Club membership is gaining new heights in response to their night flying events, taking place at least monthly, weather permitting, and membership enrollment is open for anyone wanting to join in on the fun.
