NAA To Award Special Commemorative Certificates For 2003 Records

Yeager, Townsfield Among Honorees

The National Aeronautic Association (NAA) will award special commemorative record certificates to aviators who set world records during 2003. The certificates are in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers’ first successful powered flight in 1903. Each commemorative certificate awarded will be signed by one of the following five notable living aviators, all of whom are EAA members:

  • Chuck Yeager, first person to fly faster than the speed of sound (1947)
  • Guy Townsend, pilot on the first flight of a Boeing B-52 bomber (1952)
    Scott Crossfield, first pilot to fly faster than Mach 2 and first pilot to fly faster than Mach 3 and survive (1960)
  • Richard “Dick” Rutan, pilot on the first non-stop, unrefueled, around-the-world flight (1986)
  • Clay Lacy, holder of an around-the-world speed record in a commercial airliner (1988)
