Each year, District 27 presents two Squadrons from our District with awards for the highest educational achievements.  The Tom
Smiley Award is the 1st Place Award; and the Howard Greene Bent Prop Award is the 2nd Place Award.  Points are awarded to
each squadron based on the number of advanced and elective courses completed during the year.  The points are then divided by the
number of members in the squadron to determine the winner.

Seamanship - 1 point                                                      Piloting - 2 points                                                   Advance Piloting - 3 points
