As a lasting tribute to the city’s place in aviation and aerospace history, community leaders in San Antonio have established the San Antonio Aviation and Aerospace Hall of Fame, with its inaugural class of inductees to be honored at a dinner on Thursday, March 31.

The Hall of Fame and induction dinner are the results of a collaboration between the Dee Howard Foundation, the Partnership for Corporate Aviation Training, as well as several companies, agencies and organizations at the local, state and national levels. The inductees include eight individuals and institutions that have contributed to San Antonio’s reputation for pioneering in civilian, commercial, military and space flight.
