If possible, provide additional photos of the person at their work, with their airplane, or involved in their aviation activity. Photos must be original photos, not xerox copies, newspaper clippings or digital pictures. We will scan the pictures and return the originals if you request them back. If we receive no photos, the candidate will not be considered.
