My apoligies if I missed anyone. All 2011 award winners are listed here.

Thank you for posting that news, Miles... Congratulations to all those who worked so hard and made the effort to be at Oshkosh... especially with their 170's!
I can't help but think that Bobby Jack will be happy to see this listing:

Returning Grand Champion
Rand Maiville, Onondaga, Michigan
Cessna O-1G Birddog, N16886
(TIC170A Member Bobby Jack Woolley is the author of "The Bird Dogs' Tale", and a proud 170 Owner...)

Also this beautiful 1952 170B N207EC from Maine was at AirVenture 2011

There were some nice 170s up there at KOSH. I went up there with full inentions of meeting as many 170 owners as I could. Unfortunately, our generator gve up on us on the last leg into Airventure. We started losing our intercom and our radios on the downwind for 27. Tim and I spent the better part of three days trying to source parts and sending various generators out for rebuild in order to have electrons flowing through the plane for the flight home. Although I didn't get to relax as much as I would have liked because of our mechanical issues, my faith and overall respect for the aviation community as a whole has been reaffirmed thanks in large part to the folks of EAA chapter 75 who volunteer in the emergency repair area. Cy and Ron were invauleable, patient, and extremely helpfull while hauling us to the generator shop (twice) and helping us get our ailing bird back in the air when we finally had to bite the bullet and install a shiny new Alt conversion in the plane.

Some of you may have seen our sick bird in the repair area...
