Submission Deadline August 1st
The International Council of Air
Shows (ICAS) Foundation is looking for nominations for the Air Show
Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame was created in 1995 to
recognize those who made significant contributions to the air show
industry, and represents the pilots, stuntpeople, announcers,
producers, aircraft designers, builders and other innovators who
have changed the face of air shows forever.
"The legacy of the air show performer and the heritage of air shows
is important to us all," said Hall of Fame chairman Steve
Oliver "This is an opportunity to recognize those who have
brought the air show industry forward and who have inspired us
all."
Submit nominations using the Hall of Fame Nominating Petition,
available for download at the Foundation's web site. Eligible
nominees include pilots, announcers, stunt persons, producers,
designers and builders, but are not limited to these
categories. Candidates must have made a contribution that had
a significant impact upon the air show industry; the contribution
may be demonstrated through showmanship, performance or innovation,
and may encompass a single accomplishment or a body of work.
The candidate must have entered the air show industry a minimum of
10 years prior to the year of nomination. The deadline for
submissions is August 1, 2009. A selection panel designated
by the Foundation Board of Directors will choose this year's
inductees. The induction ceremony will be held during the annual
ICAS convention in December in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The ICAS Foundation is dedicated to preserving and promoting the
history, and recognizing the advances of, the air show
industry. In addition to the Hall of Fame, the Foundation's
programs include several aviation scholarships and a Family Fund to
assist families when tragedy strikes within the air show
community.
