National GA Award Honorees Named For 2019

Awards for National Flight Instructor, Aviation Technician, And FAASTeam Rep Of The Year To Be Presented By The FAA At AirVenture

Every year for more than 50 years, the Aviation Awards program and the FAA have recognized aviation professionals for their contributions to general aviation in the fields of flight instruction, aviation maintenance/avionics, and safety.

Recipients of the 2019 National General Aviation Awards are:

*Gary Dale Reeves of Decatur, Texas—2019 Certificated Flight Instructor of the Year
*Jon David Monti of Gardnerville, Nevada—2019 Aviation Technician of the Year
*Karen Ann Kalishek of De Pere, Wisconsin—2019 FAA Safety Team Representative of the Year

The FAA will present individual awards to each National Honoree in July during EAA AirVenture 2019 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and their names will be added to the large perpetual plaque located in the lobby of the EAA AirVenture Museum. Also included in the prize package for each National Honoree is an all-expenses-paid trip to Oshkosh to attend the awards presentation and other special GA Awards activities.

“I am very excited to announce the selection of the National Honorees for the 2019 General Aviation Awards,” said GA Awards board chairman Sandya Narayanswami, “These awards highlight the important role played by these individuals in promoting aviation education and flight safety,” she added, “The awards program sponsors are pleased that these outstanding aviation professionals will receive the recognition they so richly deserve before their peers in Oshkosh.”
