The pandemic certainly took a toll on almost every event in the US and around the world including the National Aviation Hall of Fame (NAHF). The organization cancelled last year’s induction ceremony and recently decided to pass on 2021′s as well. But NAHF trustee Phil Roberts took a bold step a few weeks ago to ensure the 2020 enshrinees would not be forgotten. Roberts made a formal motion at a May 15 board meeting in Dayton: “That the Class of 2020 be recognized as enshrinees of the NAHF as of September 30, 2020. And that each of these individuals is afforded the choice of a future NAHF function to be presented and ceremoniously enshrined at the earliest possible time that is mutually convenient to the NAHF and the individual.”
