The EAA recognized the contributions made by five people to the world of flight as they were inducted into the EAA Sport Aviation Halls of Fame on November 7 during a ceremony at the EAA Aviation Center in Oshkosh, WI.
The EAA Sport Aviation Halls of Fame were established to honor the outstanding achievements of men and women in aviation who share the spirit of EAA and its community. Those inducted into the halls of fame are selected by their peers for myriad contributions made to their respective areas of aviation.
The five inductees represent a spectrum of aviation within the EAA community and have achieved notable successes within their particular realm of flight:
EAA Homebuilders Hall of Fame: Robert Nuckolls of Medicine Lodge, Kansas
International Aerobatic Club Hall of Fame: John Morrissey of Lee’s Summit, Missouri
Warbirds of America Hall of Fame: Dennis Sanders of Ione, California
Vintage Aircraft Association Hall of Fame: John Turgyan of New Egypt, New Jersey

In addition, Michel Bryson of Oshkosh received the Henry Kimberly Spirit of Leadership Award for her efforts on behalf of EAA and the local community. Bryson has chaired the International Visitors Tent team at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh for more than 15 years, leading a volunteer group that welcomes aviation enthusiasts from more than 80 countries to Oshkosh each year.
