2005 Medal — BECC members present at the March 24, 2004 club meeting selected the Boeing B-50 as the 2005 medal design. Medals chairman David Buehler reported, "The Boeing B-50 was the overwhelming winner in both the first round and the final round of voting as evidenced by the totals" (47 votes for the B-50 in the final round). The artwork shown here was the basis for making the medal. The legend "FIRST NON-STOP FLIGHT AROUND THE WORLD" calls attention to the history making flight of February 25-March 2, 1949. Each year the club features a different Boeing product on its medal. Production totaled 800 silver medals, 400 pewter medals, and 400 bronze medals. The ordering deadline was December 31, 2004. Medals are no longer available from the club. See the Boeing history page for the B-50 bomber.
