Welcome to MMRCC ...
Located in Jackson, Mississippi, the Mid-Mississippi Radio Control Club is chartered by the Academy of Model Aeronaut.jpg)
ics and was formed over 25 years ago to foster and promote the sport and hobby of flying R/C models in the central Mississippi area. Our mission is to promote the awareness of, and participation in, R/C flying within the community.
As part of our commitment to our mission, MMRCC has qualified instructors available, free of charge, to teach beginners. And, those club members who are not dedicated instructors are always willing to lend a hand and offer advice to those wishing to learn to fly R\C.
Prospective members are invited to attend the monthly meetings and everyone is always welcome to stop by the field and check out the action. MMRCC does require all members to have a current membership with the AMA.
MMRCC's home field is located at the City of Jackson's Sanitary Landfill in Byram. We also fly at our field located 0.7 miles north of West County Line Road on Billy Bell Road. Visitors and spectators are always welcome ... Maps to fields
MMRCC Spring Fly-In - A huge success!
|
The 21th annual MMRCC Spring Fly-In was held on Saturday, June 6, 2009 at the new Byram field. The weather was perfect and we had a record attendance of 64 pilots, as well as, a great number of spectators. This was the largest event ever held by MMRCC. A good cross section of warbirds, giant scale, 3D, jets and sport aircraft were represented. |

As usual, Hank Cooper did an outstanding job as CD and Bobby Bassett and Phil Lieb manned the "cook tent" providing everyone with their famous "fly-in" hamburgers. Many other members also pitched in to run the impound area and raffle booth. A great team effort by all! |
MMRCC develops new field at Byram
After several years of negotiations with the City of Jackson and with th
e support of the Mayor, MMRCC has been granted permission by the City Council to use a closed section of the Jackson city landfill in Byram as a model aircraft flying field. There is a lot of preparation to do so the opening date for the new field has not yet been announced. Hopefully, weather permitting, it will be early spring.
The landfill area is approximately 75 acres of flat land with no trees or bushes to remove. Initially, MMRCC plans to construct a 600 to 1000 ft runway. read more>>>
