Flight Daily News reporter Karen Walker has picked up two awards at the 1996 Aerospace Journalist of the Year Awards for her work in Flight International.
Walker won both the Best General Aviation story award, sponsored by the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), and the Bombardier award for Best Business Aircraft story.
Walker, a freelance journalist based in Atlanta, Georgia, was delighted. "It was a great honour even to be nominated and a total surprise to walk away with two awards - now all I have to do is work out how to get two 10kg (22lb) solid bronze statues in my hand luggage.
"The Royal Aeronautical Society is talking to Delta Air Lines..."
The ceremony, organised by the RAeS, was held at the London Inter-Continental Hotel. Awards were presented by British television presenter William Woollard.
The awards are to encourage clear, accurate and fair reporting of global aerospace issues and to encourage and reward journalists who do this well.
