Brief Description
|
|
A highlight of Inventing Flight: The Centennial
Celebration is the National Aviation Hall of Fame
Enshrinement Ceremony. The annual enshrinement
ceremony is widely known as The Oscar Night of
Aviation. For over 40 years, this prestigious
ceremony has enshrined individual air and space
legends, and honored one group or organization, in
recognition of their contributions to American
aviation. However, in celebration of the
centennial of powered flight in 2003, the NAHF will
forego enshrinement for special events designed to
honor all of its illustrious enshrinees -- men and
women who represent a century of flight.
Furthermore, all living enshrinees have been invited
to return to Dayton for a "homecoming." As many as
35 honorees are expected, representing some of the
most famous pilots and astronauts to ever fly, as
well as explorers, inventors, engineers, and
scientists. It will truly be a once-in-a-lifetime
reunion of real American heroes. The National
Aviation Hall of Fame Learning and Research Center,
located on the grounds of the U.S. Air Force Museum,
will feature an extensive exhibit gallery,
compelling interactives, live demonstrations and a
state-of-the-art research facility. |
