Another Wisconsin Aviation Hall Of Fame Member

Flying Doctor Makes The Grade

By ANN Contributor Rose Dorcey

A flying physician from Wisconsin Rapids (WI) was the 100th person to join the Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame (WAHF) during its 2003 "100 for 100" Membership Drive, which ended December 17, the centennial anniversary of the Wright Brothers' first flight.

Tim Wogahn, a family practice physician originally from Iowa, is an instrument rated private pilot who has been flying since 1999. He's a 1/3 owner of a 1960 Beech Debonair, along with fellow physician Doug Galuk and aviation educator Dan Fara. Wogahn became part owner of the Debonair in September 2003 and has already logged over 150 hours in it. Married to wife Linda and a father of three, the 270-hour pilot has made several trips throughout the Midwest, including, before its closure, Meigs Field on Chicago's lakefront. Wogahn also flew to Canada recently for a fishing trip with his brother.

WAHF member Tom Voelker, yet another Wisconsin Rapids flying M.D., referred Wogahn to the organization. Wogahn (above, with wife Linda) said he didn't hesitate to join the organization when Voelker mentioned the worthy programs the organization supports, such as a $1000 aviation scholarship. "I feel it's important to support Wisconsin's aviation history, and joining was a great way to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers' first flight," said Wogahn.

According to Rose Dorcey, WAHF Membership Drive Chairperson, Wogahn's membership helped the organization reach its 2003 goal of 100 new member/ supporters by December 17. In the final days of the membership drive, the organization not only met but also exceeded its goal with 102 new members coming on board.
