And the winner is: Captain Griego



Great news!

I recently received a life-time achievement award for my service and contributions to the field of winged-flight from the Aviation Service Society of America. The inscription on the trophy (a beautiful bronze rendering of Icarus) reads:

"For Captain Art E. Griego, whose achievements are hereby inserted into the anals of aviation history."

I was surprised to receive the award, as I didn't even know this organization existed. However, I have proudly accepted the award and plan to display it on the mantle of my fireplace, next to my "Screaming Albatross" award, given to me by the Consortium for Regulated Aviation Professionals in 2001.

GOD bless you-

Captain Art Griego
