In addition to the Nats, which will be held
June 30-August 5, the International
Aeromodeling Center (IAC) in Muncie,
Indiana, will host some fantastic events
this year.
June 15-17 the 6th Annual International Extreme Flight
Championships (XFC) will feature some of the
best airplane and helicopter aerobatics
fliers in competition. They are sure to
amaze spectators. Another thrill will be
full-scale pilots Matt Chapman and Michael
Mancuso performing their unique style of
formation flying at the event.
The Summer Heat Air Festival is returning to AMA from
the Delaware County Airport for three
fun-filled days of entertainment for the
entire family. Hot-air balloons, skydivers,
concerts, fireworks, amusement rides, arts
and crafts vendors, a classic car show, food
vendors, a Harley-Davidson ride-in, a
balloon illume, and a special birthday party
for Garfield the cat will make June 15-17 a
must-attend weekend at AMA.
June 23-28 competitors from around the world will
participate in the F3D Pylon Racing World
Championships. At least 18 countries will
send representatives to Muncie to compete.
Expect fast-paced action from these
world-class fliers.
The International Radio Control Helicopter Association
(IRCHA) will host its annual Jamboree at the
IAC the weekend of August 9-12. There will
be plenty of seminars and vendors, along
with 15 flightlines and daily flying
demonstrations.
