✈️ It’s a bird. It’s a plane. Actually… it IS a plane!

It wasn’t a bird. It wasn’t Superman. It was 29-year-old Pooler resident Sergio Mendez sending a model airplane roaring over the Sand Hill Complex on Monday evening. 🚀✈️

Mendez regularly visits the facility to pursue his passion for model aviation — a hobby he’s enjoyed since he was 12. In that time, he estimates he’s owned about 100 planes. And yes, he admits he’s crashed quite a few of them along the way. 😅

But Monday was a different story. Mendez put his aircraft through its paces, executing all sorts of aerial acrobatics without a hitch.

He and fellow model aviation enthusiasts regularly gather at the park on Saturdays and Sundays to fly together.

So the next time you see something soaring over Sand Hill Complex, take a closer look. You just might be watching a model aviator at work! 👀✈️
