LODI, Ohio — It was the opportunity of a lifetime for the American Airlines Gas Model Club , as they flew nearly a dozen planes through the darkness of the 2024 total eclipse of the sun.
"Our club loves to fly at night, we do a lot of night flights and who could resist the chance to fly during the day, then fly during the dark of the eclipse, then fly during the day all in one day," Ritchie said. “The guys I’m flying with I’ve been flying with them for over 40 years, we've been doing this since we were teenagers.”
Club member Donald King told News 5 he felt fortunate just to be able to see the eclipse in person and fly planes with his long-time friends.
