Does anyone know the name of the 3D pilot who flew to music at the midday show today?


That was John Glezellis

That 109 looks like Jeff Foley's model - if so, it sure is nice to see Jeff back in the competition. He's one of the best.

Any chance we could get a peek at the scoreboards?

Thanks again!

I recognize a few of the planes and people I shot two weeks ago at "The Blue Max 2011"; Steve Thomas and his Nieuport 17C1 and Todd Buxby and his Sopwith Camel. Good to see that Todd got it in the air.

And I love, love, love your shot of the "Aardvark" on the ground. Great perspective!

I would post some more of my photos but I need to go through them and get them to Frank and one of the magazines. Hope to see you again at Monster Planes.

BTW, thank you for your order .

Status: offline 		More Top Gun,

I had some engine performance issues that prevented me from finishing all four rounds in Team scale. Our Nieuport 28 C-1 faired well and scored a 94.113 static, this being
the high for this team effort, I am very thrilled to have had the chance to compete and even though our flying scores didn't reflect the quality of team T-12 we gave it our all
to complete and do well in Our first Top Gun effort.

I would like to give a big Thank You to Mr. Frank Tiano for considering our Team and allowing us to enter and compete in this world class event.

Further I would like to thank all of my great friends that assisted myself and my good friend and teammate David Barry in our efforts this year, I got the chance of a lifetime to fly and assist some of the best and most famous in this hobby with the efforts they put forth and all this has been exciting and thrilling for me. I feel very lucky to have such great people to enjoy my hobby with.

I also want to say Thank You to my sponsor HITEC RCD and Mr. Mike Mayberry for the support they have provided, our Team Hitec effort was very well accepted during this great event.

I am looking forward having another chance to do this all over again. I hope you enjoy the photos and I should have more in the future to post.

Team Hitec Pilot
