Wow! Top Gun 2014 was certainly one for the record books, and the Model Airplane News crew was on the flightline for it all. Due to rainy weather and a compressed flight order, the pilots of Top Gun were truly in a “fly or go home” situation. Very exciting! Here are the final results. Did your favorite pilot and plane win?
