The Tony Bingelis Award recognizes EAA technical counselors for dedicated service and/or significant contributions in assisting members to build and restore aircraft.
Recipients of the Tony Bingelis Award are carefully chosen by a committee of their peers as outstanding examples of people whose contributions have positively affected members’ aircraft building or restoration projects.
Honorees are commemorated with a permanent display at the EAA AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
