Hi guys I'm still in Greece ... I'm one of those who can't be there but I wish one day!! Maybe we have run out of money from this financial world war 3!! but we have still hope and fantasy!haha this can't take from us!! I found all these videos from youtube and I have write the youtuber name above of every video.I hope to find a lot of from TOP GUN 2015 to share for us!
With all sincerity, thanks for taking the time to gather the videos and post them to this thread to make it worth reading and viewing. Glad to see that you weren't offended (I hope you weren't offended) at my attempt to make light of the comment about the music.
You contributed much to this thread and made it enjoyable. Thanks.

Yea, Yea, lets report it! Do you really think that will help? It was an accident, no pilot is going to put anyone in harms way. When you are cleared for takeoff you are relying on your caller and the station boss to insure that things are clear. It's busy out there and things happen fast, everyone was relived that it had a uneventful outcome.

Frank has a debrief meeting with the work crew after every event. This incident will be reviewed and measures will be put in place to prevent it in the future.
In a nutshell it appears guys in golf cart "held short" of the "runway" but did not take into account that the alternate grass runway was active.
Great save by the pilot, Greg Foushi.

Yes, we will be updating the Frank Tiano website (www.franktiano.com) with pictures as soon as we get them from our photographers.....usually takes 2-3 weeks from them to process them. Stay tuned!!

A few questions. Are there any rules about gyros or does everyone use them now? Seems like a hugely unfair advantage to use in a "flying competition." Was it really windy there? Seems like a bunch of aborted or rough landings? Who won? Is there a link to the winners?
oops, should have kept reading entire thread, found the results.

gyros are allowed in competition at Top Gun. The majority of the pilots there use them but there are exceptions. I do not use one. I agree that it is "a hugely unfair advantage" but the guys that are using them say it is not :-)
separates the men from the boys in a crosswind like we had if you ask me, but that is just my humble opinion........
