High Point Grand Champion – George Bredehoft

This contest was the first Nationals held in the Detroit market for many years and all in attendance appeared to have had a great time.  Also a big thanks to George Bredehoft, whose assistance made this possible.

Bill Shailor, the contest CD, had the high static score with his Vickers 22 Bleriot, but failed to place.

The following photos were taken July 21 and 22 by Mark Freeman.
