MEDFORD, Ore. — The Rogue Eagles RC club was out at the Rogue Valley Mall on Saturday to celebrate National Model Aviation day as well as promoting they charity airshow this month.
Two members of the club, Babe Caltabiano and John Gaines have been friends for more than 25 years. They met at racing competitions and are now apart of the same club in Medford.
“We used to go to a lot of different places and race,” Caltabiano said. “We used to race against each other and then we went as a team and we’d race other teams.”
Their frienship was built over the love of airplanes, but not without a little friendly competition.
“He didn’t quite go as fast as mine,” Gaines said.
Caltabiano laughs, “what was that?”
“I said yours didn’t go quite as fast as mine.”
“Yeah, but I still beat him.”
John has been a member of the Rogue Eagles RC club since 2002. He said his love for the hobby started when he was just a kid.
“My dad flew model airplanes so I probably got it from him,” Gaines said.
He soon learned that this hobby he loved so much came with a price.
“You don’t want to ask,” Caltabiano said.
“It depends, there’s three thousand dollars sitting right there,” Gaines said pointing to a motor he built for his next plane.
The planes also come with an expiration date. Gaines said one of his planes he built took him five years, but they often come crashing down once they’re flown.
“Grown men do cry,” Gaines said.

DEVENS — Set in Maine, the acclaimed Hulu series “Castle Rock” has a particularly local storyline.
Much of the first season was filmed around the Lowell area and Merrimack Valley, with its base in a nondescript warehouse complex deep in a remote forest.
The JJ Abrams-produced show, based on the vast works of prolific horror writer Stephen King is just the latest high-profile success for New England Studios
“It is the first television series filmed entirely in New England in 30 years (since 1980s cop drama “Spenser for Hire”),” said Lowell native Chris Byers, the studio’s founder and director of marketing.
“Castle Rock” has used several locations throughout Middlesex County, along with the 72,000-square-foot compound of airplane hangar-sized buildings in Devens.
During filming months, as many as 600 people work at the site, all union members of any one of 60 specialized trades involved in the production, from craftsmen to stylists, tailors, sound engineers, graphic designers and housekeeping.
The studio also has been good business for local businesses.
“They have done a lot of work at Bull Run, some shooting over there,” said Melissa Fetterhoff, Nashoba Valley Chamber of Commerce president and CEO. “There is a print shop in Shirley that made some signage for the sets. And after hours some of the people go to downtown Ayer for billiards and beverages,” she said.
Scenes also were shot at the former Tewksbury Hospital.
