Welcome
Welcome to the internet home of the Rutland County RC Flyers. The Rutland County RC Flyers are dedicated model aviation enthusiasts that fly during the warmer months at the site of the former Fair Haven Municipal Airport, in Fair Haven, VT. The club has been an officially chartered club with the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) since 1991. We are part of AMA's District-1, which includes all AMA clubs in New England.
We welcome visitors to our field anytime we're flying. We're there almost any day that conditions allow during the warmer months.
You can stay tuned for our latest activities right here, or visit us on our Facebook Group. You don't have to have a FB account to view posts on the club's Facebook Group, so it's open to all.
AirVenture 2024
AirVenture 2024 happens July 22-28 this summer, and you really need to be there to experience the biggest celebration of aviation on the planet. That being said, if you can't be there in person, you can check it all out via EAA's AirVenture Live webcams. You'll be able to check out the various areas of AirVenture, and even watch the airshows...enjoy!

Weekend Magic
This is exactly the kind of weekend we hope for! Sunny skies are expected to prevail across our region Friday through Monday! So it becomes one of those "pilot's choice" type of weekends, not a choice we often have to make.
Our friends at the Champlain Valley Flyers are hosting their Valley of the Giants Fun Fly this weekend, so if you're participating in that event up in Cornwall, safe travels and happy flying.
For those of you flying at our home field this weekend, our advice is to pick out your favorite aircraft, charge those batteries, check the winds, pack a cooler and sunblock, and head to the field. Hope to see you there!
Finally, a huge shout-out to all the club donors that raised over $3K towards purchase of our new Husqvarna tractor. That is simply amazing!
