Winners In 44th Annual Program To Be Honored At AirVenture
The Experimental Aircraft Association tells ANN the General
Aviation Awards Committee has named the recipients of the 2007
National General Aviation Awards in the fields of flight
instruction, aviation maintenance, avionics, and safety. The four
individuals will receive their awards from FAA Administrator Marion
Blakey during a special presentation program at EAA AirVenture
Oshkosh 2007. This is the 44th year of the national GA awards
program.
This year’s recipients are:
- Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI) of the
Year: Michael Gaffney, NAFI 19074, of Lake Saint Louis,
MO
- Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) of the

Co-sponsored by the FAA and several GA organizations, the award
selection process begins with nominations by the local FAA Safety
Team managers at Flight Standards District Offices (FSDO) and then
proceeds to the eight regional FAA offices. Panels of aviation
professionals from within those four fields then select national
winners from the pool of regional winners.
"These awards highlight the important role played by these
individuals in promoting aviation education and flight safety,"
said JoAnn Hill, selection committee chairperson. "The awards
program sponsors are pleased that these outstanding aviation
professionals will receive the recognition they so richly deserve
before their peers in Oshkosh."
The presentation program is scheduled for Wednesday evening,
