The Vintage Sailplane Association  Awards


The  association has four awards that may be given  each  year  as
follows;

1.   The  Frank  Gross  Restoration Award.  Our  most  prestigious
     award,  given to the owner of the best restored sailplane  or
     replica  completed  and flown during  the  year.   The  award
     consists of a wall plaque, a small plaque for the cockpit and
     a cash award of up to $ 500.

2.   The Harland Ross Award.  A wall plaque given to the pilot who
     had the best fight in a vintage ship.

3.   The  Dean  McMillan  Award.   A  wall  plaque  given  to   an
     individual  or  institution who contributed significantly  to
     the VSA cause.

4.   The  Robert  Stanley  Award.   A  wall  plaque  given  to  an
     individual  or institution for significant performance  at  a
     VSA meet.
