Both Sporty's Pilot Shops and Thielert Aircraft Engines have announced
sizeable contributions to scholarships. Sporty's is supporting an
educational effort near and dear to our hearts with a $5,000
contribution to the Ewald Scholarship Fund for budding aviation
journalists. "Dave Ewald was admired by all who knew him, and it's
fitting that his legacy lives on through these scholarships. Sporty's
is pleased to participate in a program to train new, young journalists
in Dave's memory," said Sporty's Founder/Chairman Hal Shevers. "Just
as the general aviation community needs new pilots, mechanics and
technicians, we need impassioned, qualified journalists to chronicle
the events, products and services we offer." Thielert is helping to
educate the next generation of engineers who will specialize in engine
development.

NBAA Announces Journalism Scholarship Honoring Dave Ewald

WASHINGTON, DC, May 17, 2007 – The National Business Aviation
Association (NBAA), in coordination with the family of Dave Ewald,
announced today the David W. Ewald Journalism Scholarship honoring the
memory of the long-time Business & Commercial Aviation publisher.

"Dave was a publishing genius," said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen.
"When he helped create Business & Commercial Aviation, business jets
and turboprops were relatively new to the market. Dave realized that
people would use these airplanes differently than previous aircraft
models, and would therefore need new information. Dave provided a
forum where aviation journalists could educate the first generation of
the business aviation industry, and NBAA is proud to offer a
scholarship in his name for others pursuing journalistic excellence in
their careers."

Ewald spent nearly 50 years serving the business aviation community as
a magazine publisher and industry spokesperson. He most recently was a
partner in Smooth Propeller Company in Missouri, founded in 1988 as a
magazine advertising sales and publishing firm specializing in
aviation and other special interest information services. In 1952,
Ewald participated with his employer, Aviation Age magazine, in the
first NBAA Annual Meeting & Convention to host Exhibitors. In 1958, he
helped create Business & Commercial Aviation, and in 1989, he
co-founded Flight Training magazine. In subsequent years, Ewald was
involved in launching a number of other special-interest publications
including journals for NBAA.

In 2003, NBAA's Board of Directors selected Ewald as the recipient of
its NBAA First Century of Flight Award. The award recognized Ewald and
other industry leaders for their significant contributions to the
advancement of aviation since the advent of powered flight.

The David W. Ewald Journalism Scholarship will be offered to a high
school student planning to study journalism or a college or university
student already in an accredited journalism program. When available,
applications will be published on the NBAA web site at
www.nbaa.org/scholarships, and the deadline for entries will be July
15, 2007.

The first scholarship recipient will be announced at the Media Kickoff
Breakfast during the NBAA 60th Annual Meeting & Convention on
September 25 in Atlanta, GA.

Contributions to this scholarship fund may be made payable to NBAA and
sent to the David W. Ewald Scholarship Fund, c/o NBAA, 1200 Eighteenth
St. NW, Suite 400, Washington DC, 20036-2527, (202) 783-9000.
