The Frederick L. Feinberg Memorial Award presented to the U.S. World Helicopter Championship Team. The Team captured the title in England in the summer of 1986. The Team flying OH-58A Kiowas, won the competition over teams from Great Britain, W. Germany, Poland, and the USSR. The U.S. crew, Chief warrant officer Jon Isenminger and chief warrant officer Jimmy Green, amassed 2,302 points in the competition, which was in doubt until the last event. Teams competed in four categories: timed arival rescue, precision hovering, navigation, and slalom. The real story of the championship effort was the team concept instigated by the team's leader, Lt. Col. Robert Harry.
