Steve Wittman's 100th Birthday Celebrated At EAA Airventure
Museum
EAA AirVenture Museum
will mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of a true aviation
legend, S.J. "Steve" Wittman on April 3-5. A champion air racer,
noted airplane designer and builder, airport manager and flight
instructor, Steve provided inspiration to thousands of people
throughout the EAA family and the entire aviation world. The
Wittman Hangar at Pioneer Airport was built and dedicated in his
memory, and will be specially opened each day for guided tours on
April 3-5. Also on Monday April 5 - the 100th anniversary of
Steve's birth-a special evening program, "Memories of Steve," will
be presented. A number of Wittman's closest friends will be on hand
to share their memories, including his biographer Aaron King, and
EAA Founder and Chairman Paul H. Poberezny.
In addition, we have been digging deep into our Steve Wittman
movie and video archives, and the best selections will be shown
during the evening. The event is free and open to the public, but a
collection will be held that evening in support of projects that
sustain Steve's memory. For reservations, please contact Kate
Robinson 920/426-6869, or krobinson@eaa.org.
This event will also be broadcast live over the Internet via the
EAA website, www.eaa.org,
beginning at 6:30 p.m. CT. The broadcast is made possible thanks to
generous assistance from the Wright Family Fund, a charitable
foundation administered by the descendants of the Wright brothers
that provided the installation of equipment for live video
broadcast of EAA AirVenture Museum-based programs over the
Internet.
