Model Plane Championship!

Dozens of planes take over Trefoil Park in Fargo

The F-M Skylarks Model Airplane Club hosted its 59th annual Red River Valley Championships.

These planes reach speeds up to 100 mph in different events like dog fights between the air-crafts.

People from across the Midwest participated this year.

The club hopes to get more kids involved in the sport.

Member of the F-M Skylarks Model Airplane Club Roger Olsen said,”We’re making a real effort to include the kids, because all of us started young and we know what a great hobby it’s been. And for many people it’s kind of a first step, or a first step into the door into aviation.”

If you’d like to get your child involved contact the Fargo Park District to put you in contact with the local Skylarks club.
