For 2026, there are two trophies to compete for: The Langley Marshall Trophy Contested for 30+ years and memorialising Brian Langley and Paul Marshall, passionate North Shore Aero Club aerobatic instructors and NZAC stalwarts, this magnificent trophy is awarded to the pilot scoring the highest overall percentage score across all completed ‘Known’ and “Free/Free Known’ sequences. Past winners have typically - but not always - been from the lower categories, so every pilot in every category is in to win this trophy.
The NI AkroFest Unknown Trophy Competitors in Sports/Intermediate/Advanced/Unlimited will fly an ‘Unknown’ sequence, without any opportunity to practice. The pilot scoring the highest percentage score will be the first winner of this new-for-2026 trophy.
Multiple flights, multiple categories over multiple days Weather permitting, all competitors will get to fly three sequences over the two days of competition. Additionally, competitors may enter in two categories (but with only the score from the higher category counting towards the final results).
