Winner will be selected on the following three criteria:
1. How well they articulate how they’ll use their flying skills to “do good to the world.”
2. They must be present at 9:30am - 1:00pm Saturday of the Arlington event.
3. Finalists will be notified and invited to a panel interview at 9:30am Saturday morning July 9th. The five pilot panel will select the winner by 11:30am and the winner will be announced just prior to the opening of the Saturday air show."

Hi Karlene,
ReplyDeleteIs this application age-limited? (ie open to college-age/ graduate school students)? Thanks!
Hi Jun, Thank you so much for your comment. If you lived here... we could enter your essay! Maybe your country could run a contest like this, too.
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous, as far as I can tell, it's only a bottom age limit of 16. So... go for it! Good luck. Let me know how you do!
