EAA Sport Aviation Hall Of Fame Is Asking For Class Of 2017 Nominations

The history of aviation is marked by men and women who possessed the passion, leadership, and can-do spirit to ignore the known limits of possibility. EAA’s Sport Aviation Halls of Fame were started in the fall of 1993 to honor those who have made outstanding contributions to the advancement of the homebuilt, warbird, vintage, ultralight, or IAC (Aerobatic) communities.

Bringing together EAA's boards of directors, divisions, affiliates, and councils, the Hall of Fame is a tribute to the pioneering spirit and innovation that has marked the evolution of flight, a spirit that is nurtured and promoted throughout EAA's membership.

Nominations are now being accepted for 2017’s Sport Aviation Halls of Fame inductees, and each aircraft community has its own processes and deadlines for nominations, as follows:

Homebuilder’s Hall of Fame: Download and complete a nomination form from the EAA website and mail it to the Homebuilder’s Hall of Fame selection committee before March 1, 2017.
