For each of previous 46 years, the NAHF has recognized the individual contributions of American air and space pioneers through the enshrinement process and ceremony. The Milton Caniff “Spirit of Flight” Award was created in 1981 to additionally annually acknowledge significant contributions to aviation made by a group or organization. It is named in honor of noted artist and aviation enthusiast, the late Milton Caniff, a longtime NAHF supporter. Among previous recipients of the “Spirit of Flight” Award are the Civil Air Patrol, Doolittle Raiders, Mercury Seven Astronauts, and Tuskegee Airmen.
Founded in 1962 and chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1964, the National Aviation Hall of Fame’s mission is dedicated to honoring America’s outstanding air and space pioneers. The NAHF Learning & Research Center is a 17,250 square-foot facility located adjacent to the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. Admission to the public is free.
Advance reservations to the 2007 NAHF President’s Reception and Dinner and/or the 47th Annual Enshrinement Dinner & Ceremony (July 18 and 19, respectively) are available by calling (937) 256-0944 ext. 10. The enshrinement dinner and ceremony, often referred to as “The Oscar Night of Aviation,” draws an audience of hundreds of aerospace, defense, government and industry leaders, celebrity pilots, as well as NAHF members and previous enshrinees. Seats are $150 per event, per person. The NAHF is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, thus a portion of each seat purchased is deductible as allowed by law.
