The Rogue Valley Flyers (RVF) and the Rogue Eagles, the radio control flight clubs of Josephine and Jackson counties, are teaming up to present the always popular Lake Selmac Float Fly.
The free event is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, July 10 and 11, from 9 a.m. through most of the days, winds permitting.
A weekend of flying is in store for visitors as the clubs have invited pilots from throughout Oregon and California. Spectators will see a wide variety of aircraft and flying styles as they take to the sky.
The RVF Float Fly has been a popular event at Lake Selmac for nearly 30 years. The public can bring lawn chairs, sit in the shade of the surrounding trees and tilt heads toward the clouds. Although there is no admission fee, Josephine County Parks Dept. assesses a $2 per day parking fee.
RVF has been serving the radio control community of Josephine County since 1972. Through a lease agreement with the county the club has its flight facility at the Josephine Skypark in Kerby. Additionally, the club has an active youth program through which young people can learn the principles of flight leading to an eventual solo flight.
Additional information about the float fly is available online; Google “Rogue Valley Flyers.“
