2013 Perseverance Award Winners
This month we're bringing you the last of the photos of
aircraft that received Perseverance Awards for making their
first appearance at EAA AirVenture after being completed.
This award recognizes the work that every builder invests
to complete a homebuilt project. The award was started
by Doc and Buddy Brokaw (now deceased), who built and
flew the Brokaw Bullet and wanted to acknowledge the
perseverance needed to finish a project like building an
airplane. Sixty-three aircraft received that award this year;
unfortunately, we were not able to locate and photograph
all of them, but we congratulate all the builders on their accomplishment. … Mary Jones
