WOW... The sponsor and prize listing for 2007 was so impressive, we don't know where to begin this description!! Last year, the RDRC FFT event was the LARGEST event in NC! The '06 FFT boasted 137 pilots, two days LOADED with flying and hundreds of spectators, thousands of $$ in prizes, and raised $10,000 for Smiles for Little Faces (a Make-A-Wish sanctioned organization). Well, this year blew the '06 event away.... 201 PILOTs registered, we had $$Thousands$$ of dollars in prizes donated by our gracious sponsors, and FFT '07 raised $17,000 for the Victory Junction Gang charity!!!

NEW -> List of winners: Check the preformatted text near the bottom of the page for the winner listing from this awesome event!

This year, through the generosity of our awesome list of sponsors, guest pilots, and event participants, the RDRC Fly-For-Tots 2007 event was the largest, EVER. Our goal was to raise $15,000 for the charity this year, a tall order from last year, and it was far exceeded. ALL proceeds went directly to the Victory Junction Gang charity, none was retained by RDRC. The following companies GRACIOUSLY contributed prizes, supplies, services, advertising, and more to help make this the largest event in NC. Without them, we wouldn't have been able to host an event of the magnitude this was! Please patronize these sponsors whenever possible.
