Frank Kingston Smith is now a permanent part of the landscape at
Wings Field in Suburban Northeast Philadelphia. On June 2nd the
ashes of the late aviation enthusiast, lawyer, author, speaker, and
trade association executive were spread from a Cessna 170B flying
over the airport, fifty years to the day after his very first
logged lesson at Wings, June 2, 1955.
