There were two classes, T-28 with six pilots and Unlimited with four. The weather was very cooperative with only light breezes and nothing to prevent all heats in both classes from completing.<\/p>\n<p>The T-28s flew first and set a pretty high bar with respect to excitement, near misses, and close finishes. But then the Unlimited pilots took to the air and pretty much matched the T-28s but at about twice the speed!<\/p>\n<p>All in all, the event was very exciting with no midair collisions and only a couple downed models.<\/p>\n<p>Prizes were awarded to the top three scorers in each class. Here\u2019s a list of all registered pilots and the classes they registered in. The top three finishers are noted:<\/p>\n<p><b>T-28 Class<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Mike Benner<\/li>\n<li>Gerald Meux <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1st-Place-Badge.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6007\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1st-Place-Badge.png?resize=25%2C25\" alt=\"\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1st-Place-Badge.png?w=154&amp;ssl=1 154w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1st-Place-Badge.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 25px) 100vw, 25px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>John Meyers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2nd-Place-Badge.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6009\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2nd-Place-Badge.png?resize=25%2C25\" alt=\"\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2nd-Place-Badge.png?w=153&amp;ssl=1 153w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2nd-Place-Badge.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 25px) 100vw, 25px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Rick Nichols<\/li>\n<li>Dale Roberts\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3rd-Place-Badge.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6011\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3rd-Place-Badge.png?resize=25%2C25\" alt=\"\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3rd-Place-Badge.png?w=154&amp;ssl=1 154w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3rd-Place-Badge.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 25px) 100vw, 25px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Brian Sutton<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><br \/>\nUnlimited Class<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Mike Benner <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3rd-Place-Badge.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6011\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3rd-Place-Badge.png?resize=25%2C25\" alt=\"\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3rd-Place-Badge.png?w=154&amp;ssl=1 154w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3rd-Place-Badge.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 25px) 100vw, 25px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Gerald Meux <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1st-Place-Badge.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6007\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1st-Place-Badge.png?resize=25%2C25\" alt=\"\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1st-Place-Badge.png?w=154&amp;ssl=1 154w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1st-Place-Badge.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 25px) 100vw, 25px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Dale Roberts <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2nd-Place-Badge.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6009\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2nd-Place-Badge.png?resize=25%2C25\" alt=\"\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2nd-Place-Badge.png?w=153&amp;ssl=1 153w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2nd-Place-Badge.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 25px) 100vw, 25px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Adam Sanders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more details about this event, see the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chinovalleyflyers.org\/?page_id=6045\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Event Page<\/span>.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More photos and additional information will be available in the August, 2026 <em>CVF Newsletter<\/em> and <em>Photo &amp;
