Senior Members - 10/24/2017
AACS Aerospace would like to encourage our senior members to complete their Yeager Award. Earning this award simply requires reviewing some historical events in aerospace and taking a short quiz. It can all be done through eServices, and the quiz covers material that you're most likely already familiar with. Completion of this award greatly helps AACS stats, and earns you a ribbon for your effort.
