Contributors to Vertical and Vertical 911 magazines were recognized with Aerospace Media Awards at a dinner at the Royal Aeronautical Society in London on Sunday.
Anthony Pecchi took home the prize for Best Aviation Image for his Airbus family flight photo, which appeared in the December 2017-January 2018 issue of Vertical.
Meanwhile, Dan Megna was recognized for Best Rotorcraft Submission for his compelling account of the Ventura County Aviation Unit’s early response to the Thomas Fire, the largest of the devastating wildfires that swept through Southern California in December last year. That story appeared in the Winter 2018 issue of Vertical 911.
“We’re extremely proud of Anthony and Dan, and of all of the contributors who help us bring important stories and extraordinary photography to our readers, day in and day out,” said Vertical publisher Mike Reyno, who accepted the awards on the winners’ behalf.
The annual Aerospace Media Awards honor individuals and publishers who have made a significant contribution to aerospace publishing. This year, there were more than 250 nominations for awards in 12 categories.
