Origin
The award was conceived and donated by the Aerobatic Club of America. It was turned over to IAC when our organization took over responsibility for administering the sport of aerobatics in 1982. The award was presented at the Nationals from 1971 to 1983 to the U. S. National Aerobatic Champion. The award is named after veteran aerobatic pilot Harold Krier of Ashland, Kansas who was the 1968 U. S. National Aerobatic Champion and a U. S. Aerobatic Team member. He lost his life in 1971.
