Throughout the month of August, the AMA will recognize the Suburban Aeroclub of Chicago (SAC) as the AMA Club of the Month! This club was formed back in 1962 and is one of the oldest model aircraft clubs in the nation. Members build and fly model aircraft of all types, including airplanes, seaplanes, gliders, helicopters, quadcopters and drones. The club hosts numerous events each year to promote the hobby, community involvement, charity, and just “plane” fun! SAC also leverages STE[A]M activities for youth to learn hands-on skills, explore new options, and realize their full potential. The club has an instructional program to learn how to get started in the hobby.
AMA recognizes this club as a Gold Leader Club that also participates in AMA's Intro Pilot Program. The club has instructors available to help the pilots who are new to the hobby.
