NBAA Scholarship
Update
The National Business Aviation Association
(NBAA) and its Flight Attendants Committee
recognized the 53 recipients of the 2007
NBAA Flight Attendants/Flight Technicians
Scholarship at the association's 12th Annual
Flight Attendants Conference. The event
drew more than 250 business aviation professionals
to San Diego, CA, on June 29 and 30. The
scholarship is administered by NBAA and
its Flight Attendants Committee, which exists
to assist business aviation flight attendants
in their roles as crewmembers aboard business
aircraft. For more information about the
committee, please visit

In other news, NBAA also recently announced
the creation of a new scholarship in honor
of David W. Ewald, who passed away on April
19 at home in Connecticut. The David W.
Ewald Journalism Scholarship will recognize
a promising high school or college student
planning a career in journalism, preferably
with an aviation focus. The submission deadline
is August 15, 2007, and the first recipient
will be announced at the NBAA 60th Annual
Meeting & Convention in September 2007.

Finally, the William M. Fanning Maintenance
Scholarship is named in honor of retired
NBAA staff member William M. Fanning, who
was active in maintenance issues during
his nearly 20-year tenure at the association.
NBAA annually awards $5,000 to two applicants
pursuing careers as maintenance technicians.
One award will benefit a student who currently
is enrolled in an accredited airframe &
powerplant (A&P) program at an approved
FAR Part 147 school. The second award will
benefit an individual who currently is not
enrolled but has been accepted for enrollment
in an A&P program. A completed and signed
application form must be accompanied by
an official transcript/letter of acceptance,
essay, resume and at least one letter of
recommendation. See application form for
details. Applications must be received by
NBAA on or before August 1, 2007. For more

A Few Words
from A NBAA Veteran and Astronaut
Eugene (Gene Cernan) is known for being
the last astronaut to step foot on the Moon.
Among other things, he's an accomplished
aviator and spokesman for business aircraft
manufacturer, Bombardier Aerospace. Mr.
Cernan frequently visits the annual NBAA
Meeting & Convention gatherings to promote
Bombardier and business aviation in general.
Our video crew was honored to speak with him at a past show about
the status and future of business aviation
and aerospace. We invite you to join us
for this historical interview with an aviation
legend who offers his insight on the dynamic
industry of business aviation and the opportunities
within it.
