2026 Jets over Jacomo
Kansas City Radio Control Association celebrated a day of flying and modeler fellowship with the “2026 Jets over Jacomo” held at the Charles Reed III Memorial Flying Field in Lee’s Summit, Mo. Pilots from Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Florida filled the skies with the sounds and smells of turbine and EDF jets of all sizes.
Check out the photos.A heartfelt memorial to KC/RC member and friend, the late Tom Cook, was held throughout the day as Tom’s sons set up a great display that showcased his personal and professional contributions to the radio control hobby, including accomplishments as an owner-operator of Jet Model Products that served jet model enthusiasts around the world and his design and innovation of the DynaMax ducted fan system, many of which are in use to this day. Tom was a Competitor, Pattern Flyer, Pylon racer, 1980 KC/RC Club President, Multi-Nationals and Scale Masters Champion, a true friend to the hobby.
Tom’s family and friends joined together for the sharing of stories and a generous donation was made to KC/RC in honor of Tom. A giant of the model aircraft world, he was inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame in 2023. Tom will be missed.
2026 Summer Build and Fly Flight School
No better way to spend a summer evening than at Charles Reed III Memorial Flying Field in Fleming Park, sharing the excitement of aviation with a new generation of flyers, builders, designers, engineers…the list is endless where these kids will go.
This group of amazing fledgling pilots is from the EAA 91—KC/RC Young Eagles Build and Fly program in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Words can’t tell the story as well as pictures, so scroll through the pictures. Big shoutout to Susan, Phil, Jimmy, and so many other KC/RC members who keep this program alive and soaring.
