Please help keep Florida Jets and Top Gun Alive!
Donation protected
It has come to my attention that Top Gun and Florida Jets are in danger of not continuing for 2020.
Unfortunately, with the decline in hobby sponsorship coupled with Frank’s payout for attorney fees for a frivolous lawsuit, there is a real chance that we will lose a very important part of our hobby!
I have met many great people and have become part of a family I never would have had if it weren't for the many years attending and enjoying Top Gun. I know that many of you feel the same way. It hurts to see it all in jeopardy.
I feel that starting an account to help raise money to help the event with the Attorney fees, will allow these two events to remain solid. . Top Gun and Florida Jets have brought a lot of fun, comradery, and life-long friendships as well as the perfect escape from reality to enjoy model aviation! I’m sure if you have attended either event, or read about them in magazines or the internet, you will agree these events have had a true and positive impact in our hobby /sport. It would be such a shame to see Top Gun and Florida Jets go away.
I am asking anyone who might feel as I do, to help by doing two things. One, please share this on your page, email blast, and at your events and club meetings and two; if you are able, please donate whatever you can. If we ALL give something, even a little, tiny bit, I feel we can keep these events alive and continue to enjoy everything that comes with them! 100% of the funds donated will go to helping to pay the attorney fees and maintaining the events. I really hope that we can all pool together to help Frank Tiano keep these events alive, and to show what his life work means to us. No amount is too small (or too large!).
One last thing; it took quite a bit of coercing to get Frank to go along with this. He never would have asked!
Thank you and keep em' flying!
