We have an RC group here, "EL Paso Radio Controllers".
Several of the members were ex RCAT fliers for target practice at
Fort Bliss. They were really good.
There was a guy who used to stop by every now and then whose name
You might remember, Frank Borman. He owns a big auto dealership in
Las Cruces, NM
(35 miles N. of El Paso)
