History in the making! A group of model airplane enthusiasts will fly a battery powered radio controlled airplane called a ParkFlyer in all 48 contiguous United States. The name they have given this adventure is Wings Across America 2008 or WAA-08 for short. What sets this project apart from all the others ever attempted or completed is that the pilots will hand deliver the plane from pilot to pilot. The plane will never be shipped by mail to its next destination. This method will be creating a "chain" of pilots that will fly this model airplane all across the United States and back to the starting point. Currently, over 300 pilots have registered to take part in this history making project. The RC community is always looking at ways to promote the hobby and introduce the fun, excitement, and learning opportunities this hobby has to offer to young adults and have come up with an excellent way to showcase this hobby to a lot of Americans.
