EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH WI- The Experimental Aircraft
Association will recognize the contributions made to the world of flight by
five aviators on Thursday, Nov. 14, as it inducts them into the EAA Hall of
Fame during a banquet at the EAA Aviation Center in Oshkosh, Wis.
The five aviators represent the spectrum of aviation within
the EAA community and have achieved notable successes within their particular
realm of flight:
EAA Ultralight Hall of Fame: Frank Beagle of Kankakee, Ill. (posthumous)
International Aerobatic Club Hall of Fame: Bill Adams of Waukesha, Wis. (posthumous)
Vintage Aircraft Association Hall of Fame: Susan Dusenbury of Walnut Cove, N.C.
Warbirds of America Hall of Fame: Lee Lauderback of Orlando, Fla.
EAA Homebuilders Hall of Fame: Phillip J. Lockwood of Sebring, Fla.
"Each of these five individuals has made a unique
contribution to the world of flight that has benefited all of us," said Charlie
Becker, EAA's communities manager. "These inductees serve as an example for
everyone involved in flying and represent the best that recreational aviation
has to offer. We recognize their commitment and passion for flying and are
honored to welcome them into the EAA Halls of Fame."
In addition, Judy Mueller of Random Lake, Wis., will receive
the Henry Kimberly Spirit of Leadership Award for her efforts on behalf of EAA
and the local community. Mueller has long been involved as a volunteer in
AirVenture activities, including as a chairman for Theater in the Woods evening
programs at Oshkosh.
