She was a real compassionate and loyal sister! How very honored I am to be selected for this amazing award.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clark is being honored for her \u201csignificant contributions to the art and sport of aviation, the success of others, and the promotion of aerospace education for more than a half-century,\u201d according to officials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout her life, Julie Clark has shown dedication, remarkable skill, and a passion for excellence,\u201d said Ninety-Nines President Robin Hadfield. \u201cHer aviation journey stands as an example of what can be achieved when one combines talent with determination, making her a true inspiration to all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clark is known for her 40-year air show career as well as one of the first female pilots to fly for a major airline. She is an original charter member of The International Society of Women Airline Pilots (ISA+21). She is also a member of the board of the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS) and is an Aerobatic Competency Evaluator. Additionally, she serves as a mentor of the EAA\u2019s \u201cWomen Soar\u201d program.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<div id=\"avp_zid_34_or_33_1\"><\/div>\n<p><\/center>\u201cFrom the start of Julie\u2019s aviation career to the present day, she has constantly sought ways to lift and inspire others,\u201d said NAA President and CEO Greg Principato. \u201cMany talk about giving back, Julie defines the term. She is the definition of a Katharine Wright Trophy recipient, great in her own right and making all others around her better. It will be our honor to present the Katharine Wright Trophy to Julie Clark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Katharine Wright Trophy was established in 1981 by the Gates Learjet Corporation. The award was named in honor of Orville and Wilbur Wright\u2019s sister, Katharine, who not only provided financial support to her brothers\u2019 endeavors, but also emotional and public support to her brothers.<\/p>\n<p>For more information:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/naa.aero\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/naa.aero\/\">NAA.aero<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ninety-nines.org\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.ninety-nines.org\/\">Ninety-Nines.org<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/julieclarkairshows.com\/air-show\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/julieclarkairshows.com\/air-show\/\">JulieClarkAirShows.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aviation news international &#8211;
