Air Show Hall of Fame nominations extended

By Janice Wood · June 30, 2010 ·

The International Council of Air Shows has extended to July 31 the deadline to nominate your favorite performer to the ICAS Foundation Hall of Fame. Click here for the rules and how to nominate.

The ICAS Foundation is a non-profit organization manned by volunteers, some of whom pay their own expenses to the annual ICAS convention to help raise money for worthy causes. Those causes include helping the members of the airshow community who may need unexpected financial assistance due to an illness, accident, or other event. The foundation also manages scholarships for young (and not-so-young) persons who are attempting to further their education in things aeronautical or aerobatical.

The foundation also manages its Hall of Fame. Typically, up to three persons (or groups) are inducted, all based on nominations from members of the airshow community. You do not need to be an ICAS member to make a nomination. Previous winners include:

  • 2009: Charlie Culp, Tom Poberezny, Bobby Younkin
  • 2008: Bessie Coleman, Paul Bowen, Bobby Bishop
