This year’s winner of the NBAA John H. Winant Award is James Cannon, whose latest project is a textbook on business aviation, written with Dr. Frank Richey of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Called Practical Applications in Business Aviation Management, the book is to be published in November and become a text for graduate students studying business aviation management. The Winant Award recognizes former NBAA directors whose service to business aviation continues well beyond their tenure on NBAA’s Board of Directors, said NBAA in announcing the award.
“Jim Cannon has been a steadfast, effective advocate for business aviation in the years following his work on NBAA’s Board of Directors,” said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. “His many contributions have strengthened the business aviation community and his legacy of service to the industry has set a standard for others to follow. We are honored to recognize Jim’s dedication with the John H. Winant Award.”
