L. Welch Pogue Award for Lifetime Achievement in Aviation
The L. Welch Pogue Award for Lifetime Achievement in Aviation was created by Aviation Week & Space Technology to be presented to an individual who is "considered a visionary and a preeminent leader of contemporary aviation."[1]
In 2011, the International Aviation Club of Washington, D.C., and the Jones Day law firm partnered with Aviation Week to present the award. (The IAC was co-sponsor again in 2016 and 2017.[2][3])
