Temperatures were in the 60s on this rare warm Thanksgiving weekend day. Only four fliers showed up, but we made the best of the windy conditions, holding our first regular launch at the Rantoul Aviation Center in over five years.
CIA lost a good friend this past week. We'd like to acknowledge the generous support of Mr. Keith Page, who passed away November 22. Our sympathy to former club president John Page and the rest of the family, who have all been active CIA participants over the years.
