It is at these model- meets, held by the Aviation Club, that the luture aeronautical experts ol the nation display their handiwork. This, however, is only the external part of the program. Trips to Bedford Airport are planned in lall and spring, while during winter the members attend lectures, in- struction, and movies on aerodynamics, aeronautics and the lilte. The season is climaxed by actual Flying lessons Cwhat they have been worlcing lor all yearb. Who lcnows, one day maybe one ol these fellows who go around with their heads in the clouds will talce off and land on the moon.
