Keystone Radio Control Club
Tornado Destruction
The Southern Eagle Squadron (AMA Club #1707) suffered a huge amount of destruction from the tornadoes that swept through the Central Florida area on February 2, 2007. The steel storage container at the end of the runway had two large mowers, a 3500-watt generator, as well as miscellaneous hand tools, shovels and such. It was lifted into the air and thrown more than 300 feet away. We had a large aluminum shelter and another storage shed made of wood on the cement slab. Very few pieces of the wood building could be found although we found a roll of tickets intact next to where it was!
The club contacted me as well as AMA HQ, and we worked to get them some funds to get the club back on its feet; however, the amount of equipment lost will take some time to replace. You can help the club by sending a donation to the club in the form of cash. If you would like to donate, mail your contribution to:
