I have recently heard a lot of talk about a top gun competition with educators back in the day, did this actually occur as an event?

It was in 1988 sponsored by EC&M magazine and Stallcup Sr. wrote articles for them that was the only way I know the event never happened.

I think it was EC&M's Top Gun but it's hard to speculate on an event that never happened.

Southwire has an annual competition for apprentices, called “Top Gun”. But there is no association with MH that I know of.

The original Southwire link does not appear to link to the video. Bill's comment brings it up on YouTube.
