Aerospace Journalist of the Year

I was in Paris this year to attend the awards dinner for Aerospace Journalist of the Year in the Business Aviation category. Although I was not the ultimate winner in the category – that honor went to Fred George of Business and Commercial Aviation – I am very proud to have been included on the short list with so many other writers I’ve followed over the years.

Since these awards unfortunately seem to garner little attention within our industry, I’m pleased to share the names of all the winners here.

I was most impressed during the award ceremony when AIN’s Thierry Dubois accepted his award for the Best Technology submission. Dubois, a Paris local, made an passionate speech about the need to remember the number of international journalists killed or taken prisoner as they carry out their work.

Pretty interesting fellow Thierry is.

Hopefully I’ll try and snag him for an interview here at Jetwhine to talk more about aviation and journalism.
