Honorees for the Paul E.

For 2025 the committee accepts a letter of nomination accompanied by supporting documentation.

The nominee(s) may but does not have to be a "first" but rather "…a person, living or dead, who since December 17, 1903, either personally or with the assistance of others, have made such outstanding accomplishments in support of flight operations that they are generally recognized nationally and internationally for their achievements and contributions to aerospace activities."
