Norris Recognized with 2015 Lyman Award



Arlington, Va. – Guy Norris, a well-respected and award-winning aerospace and defense journalist and author, has been selected to receive the 2015 Lauren D. Lyman Award for outstanding achievement in aerospace communications.



“We’re delighted to recognize Guy Norris with this year’s Lyman Award,” said AIA President and CEO Dave Melcher. “His distinguished record of accurate reporting and dedicated focus on our industry exemplifies many of the qualities that Deac Lyman brought to both his reporting and public relations careers.”



Guy is a Senior Editor for Aviation Week and Space Technology magazine, based in Los Angeles. Before joining Aviation Week in 2007, Guy was first a technical editor based in the U.K. and most recently was U.S. West Coast editor for Flight International. Before joining Flight, he was London correspondent for Interavia, part of Jane's Information Group.



Guy was awarded the 2013 Jesse H. Neal award for Best Technical Content with fellow Aviation Week journalist Graham Warwick for their Advanced Propulsion feature.  He is a multiple winner of the Royal Aeronautical Society Aerospace Journalist of the Year Award in the Air Transport, Propulsion and Systems/Technology categories, and in 2006 he received the Royal Aeronautical Society Decade of Excellence Award for sustained achievement in aerospace journalism. Guy has also authored more than a dozen books on the air transport industry.



“I am thrilled and deeply honored to be receiving the prestigious AIA Deac Lyman award,” Norris said. “To be counted among the ranks of those previously granted with this accolade is both extremely humbling and unexpected.”



Norris will receive the award at a special dinner held in his honor Monday, December 14 and will be recognized at AIA's 51st Annual Year-End Luncheon December 15. The award is named after Lauren “Deac” Lyman, a Pulitzer-prize winning aviation reporter with the New York Times who later had a distinguished career as a public relations executive with United Aircraft, a predecessor to United Technologies Corporation. First awarded in 1972, the prize goes to a journalist or public relations professional in aviation who exhibits Lyman’s high standard of excellence. UTC is the longtime sponsor of the award.
