The Top Gun runway is always busy during the event, so photo opportunities are slim.  It is only after the awards ceremony that a group shot like this is possible.  Some of the BVM Jet flyers had already headed home.

The noon time air show at Top Gun fills the bleachers with an appreciative audience.

BVM Jets provided an electric jet demo showing the State-Of-The-Art with EVO LiPo battery power and the Electric VioFan (EVF).

Team pilots Kent Nogy (F-80), Bob Fiorenzi (Fly Navy Electra) and Bob Violett with the 200+ mph Camo Electra.

Culminating show time is the "Captain Salami" routine featuring Dustin Buescher at the controls of the Ultra Bandit.

Frank Tiano portrays "Captain Salami" in the cockpit transmitting his impressions through "Top Gun Announcer" Sam Wright.
The crowd loves it.

After an impressive aerobatic display, the Ultra simulates a sound barrier breaking pass complete with a small pyrotechnic blast that brings the crowd to its feet.

The "Ultra" is JetCat P-180 powered and guided by the JR DSM 12 radio.
