Ceremony To Be Held October 27

The EAA will recognize the contributions made to the world of flight by five aviators on Thursday, Oct. 27, as it inducts them into the EAA Hall of Fame during a banquet at the EAA Aviation Center in Oshkosh, WI.

The five aviators represent the spectrum of aviation within the EAA community and have achieved notable successes within their particular realm of flight:

• EAA Ultralight Hall of Fame: Jack McCornack of Cave Junction, OR.
• International Aerobatic Club Hall of Fame: The late Tony LeVier of La Canada, CA.
• Vintage Aircraft Association Hall of Fame: John W. Underwood of Glendale, CA.
• Warbirds of America Hall of Fame: The late David B. Lindsay Jr. of Sarasota, FL.
• EAA Homebuilders Hall of Fame: Ed Fisher of Gilbert, SC.

“Each of these five individuals has made a unique contribution to the world of flight that has benefited all of us,” said Rod Hightower, EAA president and CEO. “These inductees serve as an example for everyone involved in flying and represent the best that recreational aviation has to offer. We recognize their commitment and passion for flying and are honored to welcome them into the EAA Halls of Fame.”

In addition, Fond du Lac attorney Louie Andrew will receive the Henry Kimberly Spirit of Leadership Award for his efforts on behalf of EAA and the local community.
