The Goodrich Trophy

Origin
The trophy was conceived and donated by B.F. Goodrich Aerospace in 1996 and first awarded in 1997.

Criteria
The trophy is awarded to the highest-placing non-U.S. citizen by order of category at the U.S. National Aerobatic Championships, beginning with the Unlimited category and progressing downward to the Sportsman category.

(Prior to 2000, the trophy was presented to the highest-placing Unlimited category non-U.S. citizen at the U.S. Nationals.)

Procedures
The name of the recipient is provided the Contest Director by the Scoring Director after the contest is completed. The recipient’s plaque is ordered by the Executive Director along with the other trophies for the U.S. Nationals. No name is inscribed.

Recipient trophies are funded by B.F. Goodrich Aerospace and consist of a laser cut plaque with a photograph of the permanent trophy set in the plaque. The master trophy remains on display at the IAC pavilion in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The plaque is presented at the U.S. National Aerobatic Championships annual awards banquet.
