Hopefully someone on here can confirm/deny that shortly.

This is a tiny charity and it seems clear to me that this nomination has been done solely to generate publicity for its annual fund-raiser.

" In 2008 the Kiddie Hawk Air Academy assumed the production of the “Living Legends of Aviation” Awards Gala. The Air Academy produces this gala as their annual fundraiser every year in January at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel."

I wonder if- after all the furore - H will accept or not ? I can't imagine his PR people are very happpy about this: it might give South Park enough for another little poke at him as a "Living Legend " !
