Meet Je'an Pierre the Famous WW1 fighter ace who ultimately went down in flames. He was the subject of a very bad taste joke once, that I wont repeat here. I propose to make him an award for any member who has an incident where in his/her or others opinions the pilot did not walk away. While I think its light hearted and no more offensive than the well used phrase the "Walk of Shame". I showed it to Greg and he was a bit concerned it might be seen as hurtful or sarcastic so the award will only be given at the request of the pilot concerned. The aircraft must be of balsa or EPP or EPO or hard plastic construction. Choreflute and depron are excluded. These recent constructions are designed to be taking more than your average risk. The incident must be recorded on our web page as a good yarn. Embellishment is good and don't let the truth get in the way of a good story but this is not about blame and shame. A photo would be nice but not compulsory. There are plenty to give out, and more than one can be awarded to any member for separate incidents. Remember they are beautifully handcrafted and unique so there are minor artistic differences from award to award. Finally just a reminder that our entries are subject to scrutiny so make them clean, funny but clean.
