Superior Airmanship Award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Superior Airmanship Award is an aviation award given by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA). The awards are presented at the ALPA Annual Air Safety Awards Banquet[1] and is accompanied by video recreations of the events, filmed in simulators and scripted from eyewitness accounts, which led to the awards[2].
