The International Aerobatic Club Hall of Fame will induct Maurice Hunter Spinks - or “Pappy” as many called him - into the International Aerobatic Club Hall of Fame on November 10. Spinks will be one of 4 individuals to be honored by the EAA as a part of its annual Sport Aviation Halls of Fame program in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Though long departed, Spinks left an indelible mark on the art of aerobatic flight, acting as president of the Aerobatic Club of America and the sponsor of the U.S. National Aerobatic Championships.
