Wisconsin Aviation Hall Of Fame To Induct Five At October
Banquet
The Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame announced today that five
Wisconsin aviators would be inducted into the Hall of Fame at a
banquet to be held this fall.
Jerry Mehlhaff, President and
Founder of American Champion Aircraft, Rochester, Wisconsin will be
inducted, along with Duane Esse, Waunakee, WI. Esse is a flight
instructor, career educator and former Chief of Safety for the
Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s Bureau of
Aeronautics.
Anton Brotz, a Sheboygan County aviation pioneer; Wendell
McEldowney, an early LaCrosse-area pilot and aviation promoter; and
Carlyle Godske, a World War I pilot and barnstormer will be
posthumously inducted in the Pioneer category, for those who made
significant contributions to aviation before 1927.
The inductees will be enshrined at a ceremony to be held in the
Eagle Hangar at the EAA Museum in Oshkosh on October 22. Plaques
will be presented to the inductees and then permanently displayed
in the Fergus Plaza at the museum. The public is invited and
tickets will be available later this year by calling Keith Glasshof
at 715-832-6379 or Michael Goc at 608-339-7191.
The Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame was organized in 1985 and
has inducted over 75 men and women who have made significant
achievements to aviation in Wisconsin. The organization’s
mission statement is to collect and preserve the history of
aviation in Wisconsin, recognize those who made that history,
inform others of it, and promote aviation education to future
generations.
