The ICAS Foundation welcomes nominations to the Air Show Hall of Fame throughout the year. Anyone may submit a nomination for induction into the Air Show Hall of Fame as long the nominee meets the minimum criteria for induction.
Qualifications for Induction
A nominee must meet all of the following criteria to be considered for induction.

- The nominee does or did not have to be a member of the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS).
- The nominee made a contribution that had a significant impact upon the air show industry. The inductee’s contribution may be demonstrated through showmanship, performance, or innovation, and may encompass a single accomplishment or a body of work. These contributions must have already matured and be generally recognized as a significant achievement.
- The nominee entered the air show industry at least 10 years prior to the date of nomination. This means that 10 years must have expired since the person entered the air show business. It does not mean the person must have been in the air show business for 10 years.
