VAA Expands Definition Of 'Contemporary' Judging Category

Planes Built Before 1971 Now Eligible

Acting upon the recommendation of the EAA's Vintage Aircraft Association judges, the VAA Board of Directors voted to expand the Contemporary judging category to include aircraft built up to December 31, 1970. The category was previously up to December 31, 1967.

This change gives members of the Experimental Aircraft Association and the VAA, who have restored many personal aircraft from the late 1960s, an opportunity to participate in EAA's judging program. Perhaps most important, inclusion in one of VAA's judging categories also allows those aircraft to be insured through VAA's aircraft insurance program, administered by AUA, Inc.

Effective starting with this year's EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2007, the VAA's internationally recognized judging categories are:

  • Antique: Aircraft built prior to September 1, 1945
  • Classic: September 1, 1945 - December 31, 1955
  • Contemporary: January 1, 1956 - December 31, 1970

"EAA and VAA members love to share their newly restored aircraft with their fellow members and the general public, and we're pleased to announce this change, which will allow members with beautifully restored airplanes from the late 1960s to display their restorations in the Vintage parking and camping areas," said H.G. Frautschy, executive director of the VAA. "We look forward to their participation."
