CIVA Meets in Oshkosh
The FAI Aerobatics Commission (CIVA) met in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA on 16-18 October 2009 and discussed a broad range of issues, considered proposals for 2010, and accepted bids from contest organizers for next year.
CIVA President Mike Heuer will be writing about the meeting shortly on his blog and the Minutes of the meeting will be published here as soon as possible.
The CIVA meeting started with rides in the EAA's Ford Trimotor on Friday, 16 October, informal discussions, and then the Sport Aviation Hall of Fame ceremonies in the Eagle Hangar of the Museum. Famed test pilot and airshow performer Bob Hoover was inducted into the Aerobatics Hall of Fame and had the opportunity to meet many of the CIVA Delegates.
Details on the decisions taken at the CIVA meeting will be coming shortly.
