“Tony” performed well at the Arizona FAC contest in the early 90s, taking a second behind C. Mather’s Sturmovik. It performed well at various Dallas FAC contests ‘till she was destroyed in a high voltage tower.
The second Tony continued to perform likewise, placing no less then 3rd, five years running at the Tennessee FAC contests. Her real moment of glory was at the Muncie Nats in 1998, when she bested all other corners in 20 mph winds to win WW-II hands-down! Subsequent to that, Tony was lost and found in the wilds of Tennessee and finally went MIA after a two-mile chase at the Muncie FAC Nats.
