AIRSHOW ΛΕΣΧΗΣ ΑΕΡΟΜΟΝΤΕ&
Monday, 20 November 2006 Η Λέσχη Αερομοντελιστών Λευκωσίας (ΛΕ.Α.ΛΕ) διοργάνωσε Airshow το Σάββατο 11 Νοεμβρίου στο Μοντελοδρόμιο Κοτσιάτη. Προσκεκλημένος του Σωματείου μας ήταν ο Ιταλός Πρωταθλητής και 3ος στους Πανευρωπαϊκούς Αγώνες της Ελβετίας, Sebastiano Silvestri, ο οποίος πραγματοποίησε το show. To θέαμα ήταν εντυπωσιακό, αφού μοντέλα JET και μεγάλα scale αεροπλάνα, για 2 και πλέον ώρες πραγματοποίησαν ανεπανάληπτες επιδείξεις, που άφησαν άφωνο το πλήθος του κόσμου που από νωρίς άρχισε να κατακλύζει τον χώρο του Μοντελοδρομίου.
Σύμμαχος μας και οι καλές καιρικές συνθήκες, η καντίνα μας, που διέθετε φαγώσιμα και ποτά καθώς και ο Λαχνός μας που κυκλοφόρησε με δώρο 1 αερομοντέλο, προσφορά της Εταιρείας MACHRI RADIO MODELS LTD.
Η ΛΕ.ΑΛΕ, που με την όρεξη, τη δουλειά και το μεράκι των μελών της, για χρόνια είναι πρωτοπόρος στον Αερομοντελισμό, υπόσχεται παρόμοιες και πιο εντυπωσιακές εκδηλώσεις στο μέλλον.
