This was my first year seeing the event in person and there were some pretty amazing models out there. In short, Jack Diaz won Mr Top Gun with his Fouga Magister, Lance Campbell won the Masters class with his SR-71. Ali and Joe Castelleo won unlimted with a giant T-34 Mentor and Zavi (Ali's son) won the youth class with an L-29 (he flew the airplane wonderfully!). I'm not sure about the other classes. Here are a few pics. I took a ton of video too which will be going on my youtube channel (youtube.com/thercgeek).

Chris,

I think Mike Barbee and Frank Noll won Team scale with the Kingair.

Dino was second in Unlimited with the Zero. They were announced as the winner but it was corrected later that Joe Castelao and Ali Machinchy were the actual winners.
