GMA Award
« on: February 01, 2009, 01:34:08 PM »
There has been so much posting about the Jack Sheeks awards that no one has mentioned the GMA Award to honor George Aldrich.   It is given to the one "Nobler & entrant" that most represents what George was about in the stunt world.  The plane is not neccessarily the flashiest paint scheme or pilot who is a real politician(can another word be inserted here?).  This is given annually at the VSC Banquet.  Having fun,  DOC Holliday

I have recieved notice from one of the originators of the GMA Award that any of George's designs of the old time or classic era qualify.  Sorry fellows, old catching up with me.  DOC Holliday

Jeez, a M.A.N. Peacemaker with a .20FP or .25LA would be sweet! I fell in love with it, in '59.  y1  Steve
