***EVENT NOTICE*** 

 SAD NEWS

Yesterday, our club lost member Michael Ahlff (known to many as "German Mike") due to complications following surgery. His death comes as a shock to us, and it is with sadness as we contemplate his passing.

Though he was known as "German Mike," he was a proud citizen of his adopted country, the United States, and was more patriotic than many who are born here.

His legacy in our club lives in the many pilots he taught to fly, as well as his mastery of building and pattern flying. He was a great example of what our hobby is at its highest levels of accomplishment. Moreover, he was a good friend to those who could call him friend. We extend our sympathies to his wife Silke and his family.

We will inform you shortly regarding how condolences may be expressed.

Faithfully,
The Somerset RC Executive Board

  Upcoming Events

the Warbirds over North Branch was a lot of fun today.  several pilots braved the wind and cloudy skies to celebrate the heavy metal planes that ruled the skies.  we also had some WWI biplanes and some Jet.   The Café was a nice change from Pizza so thanks to chef Dave.  we all had a good meal.

Thanks to all the membership our Fall season picnic, September 26th,  was a great success.  a bit iffy weather in the beginning but it got better and we got in a bunch of flying.

Today, June 20th, at our "Big Bird Flyin", membership from at least five clubs flew together: the Staten Island RC Modelers, the Union RC Club, Burlington County RC Club, AFRCF, and Somerset RC. For the vast majority of the pilots that registered, it was the first event we attended this season, with many local events cancelled since the societal upheavals.

Our event transcended the norm. We said goodbye for a time to isolation. Our clubs today flew together in fraternity.

We had big birds, small birds, warbirds, jet birds. Moreover, we had fun. Thank you all for your presence and participation today.
