Phillips 66® Aviation is proud to announce the 2021 Phillips 66 Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Young Eagles Leadership Award. The award recognizes outstanding Young Eagles volunteers that have supported the future of aviation by going above and beyond the basic Young Eagles flight. This year, the award goes to Douglas Conciatu, EAA Lifetime Member 53419 of Macomb, Michigan.
For nearly 30 years, Conciatu has been an active member of the EAA, flying Young Eagles every year, mostly from his home airport in Ray, Michigan. He ranks ninth among Young Eagles pilots across the organization and has flown over 2,400 Young Eagles. He has also been an EAA AirVenture Volunteer at the EAA Blue Barn, and in past years, volunteered to fly Young Eagles at EAA Pioneer Field in Oshkosh during the summer months.
