Pipistrel got the virtual DEAD GRASS AWARD by EAA!

The Virtual Dead Grass award is held annually by the EAA. Each year attendees at AirVenture "vote" with their feet and bestow on certain airplanes what is unofficially known as the "Dead Grass Award." It is obvious who the winners are based on the patterns in the grass around certain airplanes. Just like dead grass around the aricraft shows the amount of interested visitors, the Virtual Dead Grass is based on the number of clicks through the EAA website - the "voting" is done virtually by tabulating which aircraft garnered the most interests by online readers.

A close-up proof of the dead grass around the G4:

This photo (by Michael Coates) shows how much dead grass is around the Pipistrel G4. This photograph was taken on Thursday, late afternoon before the big windstorm destroyed the tents.
It is amazing just how many people trampled down the lush green grass to almost dirt.
