Please Join Us on Saturday, November 1st – 5 PM
From Matthew Sellers’ 1908 Carter County flight to Story Musgrave’s 1993 shuttle flight to achievements being made today, Kentuckians have made essential contributions to aviation exploration and innovation. Chartered in 1994 by the Legislature as the Commonwealth’s official Aviation Hall of Fame, the Kentucky Aviation Hall of Fame was established to recognize and enshrine those Kentuckians (and those with close ties to Kentucky) who have made a significant contribution to the fields of aviation or aerospace.
