National Aviation Hall of Fame

La National Aviation Hall of Fame è una esposizione celebrativa delle principali personalità dell'aviazione negli Stati Uniti d'America.

Caratteristiche

È ospitata dal National Museum of the United States Air Force, parte della Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, la base aerea della United States Air Force a 16 km nordest di Dayton nello stato dell'Ohio. Istituita nel 1962, l'iniziativa fu patrocinata dal 1964 dal Congresso attraverso lo strumento legislativo del congressional charter, parte della raccolta di leggi federali dell'United States Code.

L'iniziativa prosegue da allora e attualmente è una fondazione pubblica che riferisce al Congresso, sebbene si finanzia attraverso donazioni e non riceve fondi dal governo federale. La sede permanente è stata creata nel 1996 ed è aperta al pubblico che vi può accedere gratuitamente.
