Winners For The 2019 'Warbirds 20 Under 40' Program Announced

Recognizes The Next Generation Of Warbird Contributors Under 40 Years Of Age

A new program was introduced at the 2019 National Warbird Operators Conference, Warbirds "20 Under 40." Many Warbird owners and operators feel that now is the time to recognize the individuals under 40 years old for their contributions to the Warbird field.

The group extends a special thank you to all who took the time to nominate the young "Rising Stars" in Warbirds. The judging panel had to make some tough decisions based on the excellent quality of nominations received. It is wonderful to hear the passion and dedication of a number of young individuals in the Warbird Industry today.

The 2019 Warbirds "20 under 40" Class ... the first in the program's history, includes (in no particular order):

  • Amelia Hilsen
  • Ben Wilson
  • David Oliver
  • Jason Capra
  • Joel Swager
  • Matt Bongers
  • Michael Porter
  • Nick Crofoot
  • Samuel Walsh
  • Marco Rusconi
  • David Reed
  • Taylor Stevenson
  • Matt Younkin
  • Justin Spence
  • Scott Yoak
  • Tim Wiebe
  • Eric Nielsen
  • Shawn Patrick
  • Shane Clayton
  • Ryan Parente

Winners will be recognized at the Warbirds Banquet at Oshkosh AirVenture 2019. Also, due to the generosity of a number of sponsors for the program, all winners will be given an special opportunity: A Warbird introduction flight and an option for some one-on-one maintenance training on a variety of Warbird Aircraft.
