During the 78th Annual Grand Awards Ceremony on May 12 in Fort Worth, Texas, the Vertical Flight Society honored members and vertical flight leaders for their outstanding achievements. The Forum 78 Awards Ceremony, sponsored by Bell, is one of the highlights of the Society's Annual Forum Technology Display. The Society's prestigious Awards Program was initiated in 1944 and, over the years, has paid tribute to the world's outstanding leaders in industry, government and academia, and acts as a catalyst for stimulating technological advances in vertical flight.This year's awards ceremony was held as a Thursday morning breakfast, instead of the usual Wednesday evening dinner. Much of the feedback was very positive on this experiment, and VFS will be considering it again for next year. VFS Executive Director Mike Hirschberg welcomed the attendees and thanked all of the VFS volunteers for supporting the Annual Forum, including the authors, technical committees, session chairs, chapter members and student volunteers.
