100 Mile Model Flyers to host Summer Fun Fly

The event is on this weekend at the 100 Mile Airport

Model planes will fly in the skies of 100 Mile House this weekend.

The 100 Mile Model Flyers are hosting their annual Summer Fun Fly on July 23-24 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on both days.

Treasurer John Code said they’re expecting to welcome dozens of model pilots from six clubs across B.C. to fly off the runway at the 100 Mile House Airport.

“We’re really looking forward to getting this Fun Fly up and running again,” Code said. “This year we’re hoping we’ll get some people from the public to come and watch. We have a couple of guys coming from out of town with the jets and a lot of larger airplanes, so we hope to have a good weekend of flying.”

Admission for the general public is a Toonie each, which will go towards supporting the club. Those who pay will get to check out the various models of electric, nitro and jet planes up close and watch them take off and fly. The club has partnered with the District of 100 Mile House.

The club, which has about 20 members, flies every Sunday during the summer at the 100 Mile Snowmobile Club on Ainsworth Road. Newcomers are welcome.

“If you have any interest in aviation (the Fun Fly) is a good chance to come out and see our sport and talk to some of the pilots,” Code said. “If you’re really interested we can tell you how to get into the hobby.”
