Marion Blakey to Receive
2013 Wright Brothers Memorial Trophy
Marion Blakey has been selected as the recipient of the 2013 Wright Brothers Memorial Trophy. NAA established this award in 1948 to honor the memory of Orville and Wilbur Wright. The trophy is awarded annually to a living American for ". . .significant public service of enduring value to aviation in the United States." 
Since 2007, Blakey has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Aerospace Industries Association, the voice of the aerospace and defense industry. Before that, she served a five-year term as Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration. During her tenure, the traveling public experienced the safest period for air travel in nation's history, and she was a tireless safety advocate both in the United States and internationally. Under her leadership, FAA launched the Next Generation Air Transportation System − the shift to a satellite-based system that will modernize air transportation, save fuel, and decrease delays.
NAA Chairman Walter Boyne, a member of the Selection Committee, praised the choice. "I couldn't be more pleased with the selection of Marion Blakey for the Wright Trophy," Boyne said. "She has been a public servant of the highest order and one of the leading advocates of our nation's aerospace industry."
Prior to being named FAA Administrator, Blakey served as Chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board. During her tenure, she led a number of accident investigations, including the 2001 crash of American Airlines flight 587, dealing with both the highly technical aspects of the investigation as well as the tremendous public interest in the accident. Blakey improved the Board's accident reporting process and strengthened its advocacy and outreach programs to promote safer travel throughout all modes of transportation.
Including her service at the FAA and NTSB, Blakey has held six presidential appointments, four of which required Senate confirmation. She served as Administrator of the U.S. Transportation Department's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and held key positions at the Department of Commerce, the Department of Education, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the White House, and the Department of Transportation.
"The long list of recipients of this most historic award reflects the diversity of leadership of our nation's aviation and aerospace industry," said Jonathan Gaffney, President and CEO of NAA and Chairman of the Selection Committee. "Over its 65-year history, the Wright Trophy has been awarded to industrialists, explorers, innovators, and public servants. Marion Blakey has joined a remarkable group of Americans."
Blakey will receive the award at the Wright Memorial Dinner, hosted by the Aero Club of Washington, on Friday, December 13, 2013. For more information on the award, please visit www.naa.aero. For more information on the Wright Memorial Dinner, please visit www.aeroclub.org.

Barrington Irving to Receive Brewer Trophy for Aviation Education
Barrington Irving will receive the Frank G. Brewer Trophy for Aviation Education. The Brewer Trophy is presented annually for ". . .significant contributions of enduring value to aerospace education in the United States."
Irving was raised in Miami's inner city, surrounded by crime, poverty, and failing schools. But he beat the odds to become the youngest person and only African American ever to fly solo around the world. He built a plane himself, made his historic flight, graduated Magna Cum Laude from an aeronautical science program, and founded a dynamic educational non-profit - all before age 28.
NAA President and CEO Jonathan Gaffney, Chairman of the Selection Committee, said, "Barrington Irving's inspirational story combined with his passion and dedication to aviation education is apparent in all he has done. He truly reflects the spirit of the Brewer Trophy."
The moment of inspiration for Irving came at age 15 while working in his parent's bookstore. One of their customers, a Jamaican born professional pilot, asked Irving if he'd ever thought about becoming a pilot. "I told him I didn't think I was smart enough," Irving recalled, "but the next day he gave me the chance to sit in the cockpit of the commercial airplane he flew, and just like that I was hooked. There are probably millions of kids out there like me who find science and exploration amazing, but lack the confidence or opportunity to take the next step."
To follow his dream, Irving turned down a full football scholarship to the University of Florida. Instead, he washed airplanes to earn money for flight school and increased his flying skills by practicing at home on a flight simulator video game.
He also has a message for kids: "The only thing that separates you from CEOs in corner offices or scientists in labs is determination, hard work, and a passion for what you want to achieve. The only person who can stop you from doing something great is you. Even if no one believes in your dream, you have to pursue it."
Irving's nonprofit organization, Experience Aviation, aims to boost the numbers of youth in aviation and other science and math-related careers. Middle and high school students attend summer and after-school programs tackling hands-on robotics projects, flight simulator challenges, and field trips to major industries and corporations. In his "Build and Soar" program, 60 students from failing schools built an airplane from scratch in just 10 weeks and then watched Irving pilot it into the clouds.
Irving's next endeavor will transform a jet into a flying classroom that will circle the globe sharing science, technology, engineering, math, geography, culture, and history. The web-based experience will make it easy for kids to participate at home and school, voting on everything from where Irving should make a fuel stop to what local food he should sample. He plans to call classrooms from the cockpit; broadcast live video from 45,000 feet; blog with students; collect atmospheric data; communicate with the International Space Station; and wear a NASA body suit that transmits his heart rate, blood pressure, and other vital signs.
Irving will receive the award at the NAA Fall Awards Dinner on Tuesday, November 12 at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Virginia.

Barden, Crosby, Risseeuw, Whitman, and Zuccaro to be Honored as Distinguished Statesmen of Aviation
Janice Barden, Ralph Crosby, Hugh Risseeuw, Bruce Whitman and Matt Zuccaro will receive the 2013 Wesley L. McDonald Distinguished Statesman of Aviation Awards at the NAA Fall Awards Dinner on Tuesday, November 12, 2013, at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Virginia.
The Distinguished Statesman of Aviation Award was established in 1954 to honor outstanding Americans, who, by their efforts over a period of years, have made contributions of significant value to aeronautics and have reflected credit upon America and themselves.
Janice Barden
In 1971, Janice K. Barden leveraged her 16 years as a professional aviation psychologist to create Aviation Personnel International (API) - the first female-owned-and-operated retained search firm designed exclusively to serve the hiring needs of private and business aviation professionals. It has contributed immeasurably to the aviation industry. An Industrial Psychologist, Barden developed the company's Psychological Testing Program, a successful battery that has evolved into API's PEQ (Professional Evaluation Quotient), which assesses aviation professionals/candidates based on 17 factors.
API is the longest-running aviation recruiting business, exclusively serving the hiring needs of flight departments in corporate and private aviation, including senior aviation leaders, pilots, maintenance, cabin safety crew, schedulers, and dispatchers.
Ralph Crosby
For over three decades, Ralph Crosby has been involved in the management and leadership of aerospace. Crosby served as Chairman and CEO of EADS North America from 2002-2009 and was responsible for augmenting the presence of EADS in the United States, developing strategic partnerships with U.S. companies, and enhancing the involvement of EADS in the U.S. marketplace. Today he serves as a member of the EADS Executive Committee as well as Chairman Emeritus.
Previously, Crosby was President of the Integrated Systems Sector of Northrop Grumman Corporation, a position he held since establishing the sector in 1998. Before that, Crosby was Corporate Vice President and General Manager of the B-2 Division. Joining Northrop Grumman in 1981 as Special Assistant to the Senior Vice President for Marketing and Technology, Crosby was named Executive Director of the company's Washington Office in 1983. From there Crosby held numerous positions within the company, including Deputy General Manager of its Commercial Aircraft Division in April 1996 and General Manager in September 1996.
Prior to his industry career, Crosby served as an officer in the U.S. Army with duty in Germany, Vietnam and the United States. In his last military assignment he was the Military Staff Assistant to the Vice President of the United States.
Hugh Risseeuw
Throughout his career, Hugh Risseeuw has been a leading advocate of military aviation as a pilot, corporate executive, and industry leader. A graduate of the United States Naval Academy, Risseeuw flew with fighter squadrons VF-111, VF-213, and VF-126, amassing over 3,500 hours of flight time and 350 carrier landings in fighter and attack aircraft, including the A-4, F-4, and F-8. Flying the venerable F-4 Phantom II, he was selected to be one of the Navy's first aggressor pilots in a flight tactics school that eventually became known as "Top Gun." He was awarded numerous Air Medals for his heroic airmanship in combat, the Vietnamese Service medal (for two combat tours), and a host of unit commendations.
Upon his retirement from Naval Service in 1985, Risseeuw joined Pratt & Whitney, where he eventually served as the Director of Navy and Marine Corps Programs in the Washington office until his retirement in 2011. During this time, Risseeuw participated in the development and successful fielding of the F119-PW-100 and P&W F135 engines as well as the successfully fielding an Aft Lift Fan Nozzle (a project which was awarded the 2001 Collier Trophy).
Bruce Whitman
Bruce Whitman joined FlightSafety International in 1961 as Assistant to the President and, later that year, was elected Vice President and a Director of the company. In 1962, he was named Executive Vice President and, in 2003, was named President and CEO.
Whitman has served on the Associate Membership Advisory Council of the National Business Aircraft Association and Board of Governors and Executive Committees of the Flight Safety Foundation and the Civil Air Patrol. He is also a former Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee of Petroleum Helicopters and chaired the Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committees of the Aviall Board of Directors. He was also a member of the Board of Directors of FlightSafety Boeing Training International and Board of Governors of the Aerospace Industries Association.
Whitman is currently a Director and Chairman of the Executive Committee of PASSUR Aerospace; Co-Chairman of the Board and Chairman of the Nominating Committee of the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation; a Director of the General Aviation Manufacturers Association; an Executive Committee member of NATA's Air Charter Safety Foundation Board of Governors; a Director and member of the Executive Committee of ORBIS International and a Director Emeritus of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. He is Vice Chairman of the Air Force Academy Falcon Foundation; President of The Wings Club; a Trustee and member of the Executive Committee of the National World War II Museum and Trustee of Kent School; member of the Harvard Medical School Immunology Advisory Council; member of the Boards of Business Executives for National Security, Corporate Angel Network and the USO of Metropolitan New York.
Matt Zuccaro
Matt Zuccaro has served as President of the Helicopter Association International (HAI) since 2005 and, under his leadership, HAI has become one of the fastest-growing aerospace organizations in the world as well as the leading advocates of the rotorcraft industry. A relentless advocate of safety, he has established a vision for the rotorcraft industry of 100 percent accident-free operations and he strives daily to achieve it.
Zuccaro's 40-year career in the helicopter industry included several field and executive level positions with corporate, commercial, airline, and law enforcement helicopter operations in the New York City area. During his tenure with the Port Authority of New York, Zuccaro served as Senior Pilot, Operations Supervisor of its New York City Heliports, and Operations Supervisor at Kennedy International Airport.
Zuccaro is a highly-decorated Army helicopter pilot, first serving in Vietnam with the 7th of the 17th Air Cavalry, then as a flight and classroom instructor at the Army flight school at Fort Rucker. He holds Airline Transport Pilot and Instrument Flight Instructor Certificates for both helicopter and fixed wing.

Dr. Michael Auslin Analyzes
U.S. Presence in Asia
Dr. Michael Auslin, columnist for The Wall Street Journal and Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, spoke at the NAA October Luncheon about the evolving role of the U.S. military in Asia and how it is affecting international perceptions. Auslin is an expert in Asian affairs and provided a sweeping overview of the region with an emphasis on China.
"China is politically and socially fragile," he declared. "The Communist Party has no legitimacy, government is hated, and corruption is rampant. Provinces are broke. There is a labor shortage because of the one-child policy. The next 30 years for China will be more challenging."
Despite this, China remains an economic power and perhaps a military power as well, although Auslin noted that it is difficult to gauge the nation's true military capabilities.
A larger concern, he said, is "the fear that the United States is accommodating the role of China in a way that upsets the balance in the region." Among Asian nations, he said "China has lost a lot of the goodwill it had built up."
Consequently, when these nations "see the United States becoming less engaged, less capable, and always one step behind China," Auslin says it makes them uneasy. "Allies and others who work with us are concerned about the long-term trajectory of the United States in the region."
He said issues include not standing up to China while wrestling with our own budget problems.
Auslin added, "I am amazed at the little knowledge Americans have about the Pacific." By contrast, he noted that "Asians are very politically aware. The Chinese are talking about the need for the United States to get its debt under control. They understand the impact even as Americans don't."
"The Pacific has totalitarian powers and should be taken seriously as it makes contributions everywhere in the world. It's an economic powerhouse whether you are looking for skilled labor forces or solid supply chains. The Pacific is a fundamental part of our lives and will be for generations to come."
According to Auslin, there are two major factors that will assist in strengthening America's relationship with the Pacific. First, America must maintain a steady presence in the Pacific. "We must be engaging with Asia and provide what they need economically and politically," said Auslin. He noted that Asians are concerned about security and if we change our security strategy we risk losing the Asians' trust. Auslin added that America must have a presence in Asia year after year and decade after decade to prove our loyalty and commitment to Asia.
Second, Auslin declared that Asians are confused about what we say we will do versus what we are doing in their region. To combat this, we must have the aerospace capability to do what we say we are going to do. Asians worry that America is increasingly shifting away from complex issues that affect the balance of power and combat effectiveness.
Auslin noted three military budget areas that he believes are critical if the United States is to maintain its influence in Asia. They are structure, which impacts where America can be within the region at any time; Readiness, which protects our military stability and credibility, followed by modernization.
"Asia's military has changed dramatically and if our readiness declines we lose our competitive edge," he said. "Our capabilities must be cutting edge. If America is going to be serious about our presence in the Pacific we must answer what we will do with our hypersonic capabilities and we must rethink structure, modernization and readiness."

USPA Membership Continues Growth
The United States Parachute Association (USPA) has been setting membership records nearly every month in 2013, and reached yet another record at the end of August with 35,458 members, an increase of 2.7 percent over August 2012. USPA grew by 4 percent in 2012, and has grown every year since 2008.
So far in 2013, the number of USPA-issued skydiving licenses and instructor ratings exceeds those issued for the same period in 2012. "Skydiving continues its popularity, with over 500,000 people trying it for the first time every year, fueled in part by the many skydiving scenes in movies, TV shows and commercials," said USPA Executive Director Ed Scott.
