✈️ A Community Built Around Flight
For decades, the Pomona Valley Model Airplane Club (PVMAC) has brought together people who share a passion for radio-controlled flight. From first-time pilots taking off for the very first time to experienced flyers perfecting scale aircraft and jets, our club is about learning, sharing, and enjoying the hobby together.
