Remembering: Edward Dolanski Sr.

“My dad was the funder, I was the builder and flyer; it was a true partnership.” says Edward Dolanski, Texas. He has many memories building and flying model airplanes with his dad, Edward Dolanski Sr., who has now passed away. The relationship he built with his father around aeromodeling and the pure “coolness” of the sport made model aviation Ed’s passion. This passion for flight influenced his career path and he is now an executive at Boeing.

He is sharing his passion with son Nicholas, 14, an AMA Life Member like his father, martial artist and developing park flyer. Recently, Ed purchased a granite brick along the Walk of Fame at the International Aeromodeling Center to honor his father, celebrating yet another story of how the hobby is more than models, but about relationships, spirit, learning and tradition.
