Prince George’s RC Club was founded in 1963 on a 1 acre patch of land on top of a hill in Upper Marlboro, Maryland by 15 modelers looking to get together regularly to fly. By 1972, PGRC moved to a 1000 acre site with 2 400 foot paved runways that quite literally paved the way to increasing their membership to over 200 members… including EDF pioneer Bob Violett and pylon icon Cliff Telford. Events such as the nearly 30 year old Big Bird Warbird event bring pilots from all over to enjoy the PGRC, and now we’d like to offer our congratulations for all of their hard work by naming Prince George’s RC Club February’s Club of the Month!
