• Club History
  The River City Radio Controllers, A.M.A. Gold Leader Club #1263, was formed in the early 1970's operating from a field on the Freys Hill side of E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park in eastern Jefferson County. In 1995, due to encroaching development, the Club moved its current flying site on the Hurstbourne Parkway side of the Park, which was dedicated "Steve Henry Field" in honor of former Lt. Governor, Steven L. Henry. Due to our commitment to our surrounding community, the club has achieved AMA Gold Leader club status. Additionally, in 1999, our club received the Jefferson County Commissioners' Community Service Award for its annual "Wings for Kids" Benefit Air Show.
