Chuck Broadhurst

Charles H. Broadhurst, Jr., age 49, passed away at his home in Sacramento, California on February 28th. Chuck was the current District X Vice President of the Academy of Model Aeronautics, current Executive Director of the National Free Flight Society, monthly Free Flight correspondent for American Aircraft Modeler magazine, past President of the Northern California Free Flight Council, and past President of the Capitol Condors Model Airplane Club. Chuck’s last official act for AMA was to meet with the other members of the AMA Executive Council at the group’s winter meeting in Toledo. While there, he wrote a statement in regard to his deep and devoted love for model aviation: “I feel very strongly in the need to maintain a strong national Academy of Model Aeronautics organization.” These were probably his last words in a long career of writing and working on behalf of model aviation.

Air modeling suffers a deep loss at Chuck’s passing. -John Clemens, AMA President
