Kokomo Aero Team: You’ll be hearing more about this name - it’s a new moniker for an old and active club. (Your contact: Charles Borneman, Jr. … Kokomo, Ind.) Changing a name of an incorporated club, incidentally, is an expensive proposition - at least in Indiana. You have to dissolve the old organization (on paper) and then go through the legal procedure mill all over again. If you are going to incorporate, make sure you like the name you are using!
The Kokomo Aero Team is 14 years old, flies C/L, F/F, and Indoor, with a club contest each month. In the 1962 season, Team members hit 30 contests - and how many outfits can tie this mark?
“We had 21 contestants at our last indoor meet,” advises Borneman.” These are held at the Bunker Hill AFB gymnasium, and we are grateful to the Air Base officials for allowing us to use the facilities.”
At the Annual Mid-States Control Line Championships held at the Chrysler parking lot, the Kokomo Aero Team does all the judging. This is an AAA meet attracting fliers from an eight-to-nine-state area. The club publishes a monthly newsletter which goes to more than 100 modelers. Although the Team has just over 40 members - they are looking for more.
