Default This is what is all about

Yesterday Sunday 10 we held a Fly-in dedicated to a Kid name Sebastian Aldrich, which suffers from Spina Bifida (more info at www.sbaa.org). We did to raise funds for his operation. The activity was held in Borinquen R/C Model Club in Puerto Rico. On a personal note it really felt good to help somebody else though this hobby, especially if it is a kid. Needless to say we had a blast here are the Pics.

Hector,

Thanks for bring us the pics of your awesome event!!

To be able to help anybody, especially a child, is the best feeling in the world, I have to agree.

I'd like to give you a "GIANT SALUTE" from all of us here for what you guys did for that young man!!!!

You guys ROCK!!!!!!!

BRAVO!!!
The hobby has always amazed me. Just seems like we're blessed with some very gracious and caring folks. The fly-in would have been great without a reason. Helping a young man with a challenge while sharing a great day of flying and fellowship is the best of both worlds. You guys are awesome!

My hat's off to you guy's. I bet you made that kids day! Not only did you have fund raiser. But you included him at the field. He had to feel ten feet tall. You'll never see this on mainstream news media. But that why it's so special. I wish the kid well, please keep us informed.
