Hall of Fame History
Petition Guidelines | Nominating Petition
The International Aerobatic Club Hall of Fame was formed in 1986 to give appropriate recognition to those who have made a significant contribution to aerobatics. The following year, Jose Aresti, Duane Cole, Curtis Pitts and Frank Price became the first inductees to receive this prestigious honor. In subsequent years, Marion Cole, Mike Murphy, Betty Skelton Frankman, Bob Heuer, Bevo Howard, Harold Krier, Lincoln Beachey, Bob Herendeen, Charlie Hillard, Art Scholl, Mary Gaffany, Leo Loudenslager, Clint McHenry and Neil Williams gained this distinction as well. A place of honor is set aside in the atrium of the EAA museum, in Oshkosh, to recognize their accomplishments. You can view a complete list of all Aerobatic Hall of Fame inductees here. |

Chapters are encouraged to support the nomination of a local candidate. Often, the accomplishments of an individual are best known regionally, and several chapter members pooling their resources, might develop additional supporting documentation on behalf of their candidate.
The Hall of Fame committee accepts nominations until February 1st of each year. These nominations should use the Hall of Fame Nomination Petition. This may be obtained from the IAC web site, or from Dave Lammers, appointed chair of the Hall of Fame committee.
All nominations are reviewed and voted on by the selection committee, which consists of seven members. Those selected are then recommended to the IAC board for final approval. Inductees are recognized at a banquet held in conjunction with the fall IAC and EAA board meetings.
