Since 1988, the Dick Schram Memorial Community Relations Award is annually awarded to the one military air show, open house or flying event that best represents the spirit of community for which Dick Schram stood throughout his naval career. Schram personified all that was good about the military's involvement in air shows as a Blue Angel pilot and later as the Department of Defense Aviation Support Liaison Officer .

The Scholl Award is presented each year to the air show performer who best embodies legendary air show performer Art Scholl's commitment to air show entertainment and showmanship.
