Hall of Fame
Kentucky Aviation Hall of Fame & Aviation Achievement Award
The Kentucky Aviation Museum proudly serves as the official Aviation Hall of Fame for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, a distinction granted by the Kentucky General Assembly in 1994. Since its founding in 1996, the Kentucky Aviation Hall of Fame has honored Kentuckians and those with strong ties to the state who have made significant contributions to aviation and aerospace.
Each year, a new inductee is enshrined, celebrating their outstanding achievements in these fields. In addition to recognizing individuals, the museum also presents the annual Aviation Achievement Award. This prestigious honor is bestowed upon a school, group, or company that has made remarkable efforts to promote aviation and further the growth of the aerospace industry in Kentucky.
By recognizing these outstanding individuals and organizations, the Kentucky Aviation Hall of Fame plays a key role in preserving the legacy of aviation in the Commonwealth and inspires future generations of aviators and aerospace professionals.
