uring the 1960s and ’70s I remember waiting for my spring issues of FLYINGMODELS to read the coverage of the King Orange Internation- als. Hosted by the Florida Modelers Association (FMA), the King Or- ange International (KOI) is the longest continuously running model airplane contest in the country after the AMA Nats. It was first held in 1954 at Miami’s Opa-locka Naval Air Station and later Masters Field. Coincidentally, Masters Field is also famous as a stop on Amelia Earhart’s round the world flight. She landed there on May 23, 1937.
