Former WAC Chairman Earns FAI Award

This week, in honor of Veterans Day, NAA would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of the brave women and men who have served our country in the armed forces and fought to protect our freedom. We are forever grateful for your dedication, courage, and sacrifice. Today and every day, thank you.

The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, the world governing body of air sports for which NAA serves as the United States representative, recently announced its slate of 2020 general award recipients. Americans Scott Neumann and Bob Stangarone were named as recipients of the Paul Tissandier Diploma, which is awarded to those who have served the cause of Aviation in general and Sporting Aviation in particular, by their work, initiative, devotion or in other ways. Fellow American Larry Bagley will receive the Leonardo Da Vinci Diploma for his achievements in the sport of parachuting. FAI will present the 2020 general awards at their virtual General Conference in December. Congratulations Scott, Bob, and Larry!
