Saddle Butte R/C ClubSaddle Butte Remote Control Club hosted 9 members of Boy Scout Troop 1438 plus 4 of their leaders as part of the TAG (Takeoff And Grow) program. The boys had the opportunity to learn some of the fundamentals of flying remote control airplanes. After some previous classroom instruction and this evening’s safety briefing plus review of the classroom instruction the boys were allowed to handle and fly one of the trainer airplanes that the AMA has provided the club for the TAG program.

Submitted for your consideration
An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, give a smile, and a "Thanks for flying XYZ airline." He said that in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally everyone had gotten off except for this little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?" "Why no Ma'am," said the pilot, "what is it?" The little old lady said, "Did we land or were we shot down?"
