The European Business
Aviation Association (EBAA) and the National Business Aviation
Association (NBAA) -- co-producers of the European Business
Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) -- are calling for
nominations for the 2006 European Business Aviation Award.
The award, which was created to honor individuals who have made
a significant contribution to the advancement of business aviation

the Award Committee in reaching a judgment.)
