Precision  WhirlyCam

 
 
First and foremost, I am the wife of an active duty Air Force pilot and the mother of 3 beautiful children.  They are a real joy in our life.


My husband and I are both active in the radio-controlled modeling community.  As an Instructor at our local club, I maintain basic flight skills by introducing new people to this wonderful hobby.  I also compete in precision aerobatics (IMAC) with giant-scale gas planes.
