FLORIDA

JETS 2019

21ST IN A ROW AND STILL GOING STRONG!

TEXT & PHOTOS BY RICH URAVITCH

Florida Jets is an annual affair that has been going on for 21 years and is a much-

anticipated event in the jet community. Promoter and Top Gun originator Frank

Tiano conceived the event as a means of bringing together RC enthusiasts who

have a love of jet models for an exchange of ideas. It has grown dramatically and,

along the way, has become a showcase for manufacturers and suppliers in this

unique segment of the RC hobby. I was told by Frank that I could count on a few

surprises this year, so I was anticipating great things. I was not disappointed.
