The Macon Aero Modelers Club is hosting a charity Fly-In at 9 a.m. Sept. 22 and 10 a.m. Sept. 23 at its flying field in Otto.

The proceeds will go to CareNet, a nonprofit organization that collects food for those in need. Visitors are asked to bring 10 cans of non-perishable food or donate $5 per car for parking.

The Fly-In is open to the public and will feature all types of radio-controlled airplanes and helicopters flying, and on display. The club’s airfield is located about eight miles south of Franklin on Tessentee Road. Hotdogs and barbecue will be available for lunch.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
