ABOUT THE TEXAS AVIATION HALL OF FAME
The Texas Aviation Hall of Fame was established in 1995 through a resolution by the 74th Texas Legislature and signed by then Gov. George W. Bush to honor and recognize Texans and Texas companies or organizations that have made significant and lasting contributions to the advancement of aviation. There are currently 100 individuals and groups in the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame, in four categories which include trailblazers and explorers, wartime aviators, leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators. The Texas Aviation Hall of Fame represents trailblazers and explorers such as Bessie Coleman and Wiley Post; leaders such as Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush; World War II aviators Tex Hill, the Doolittle Raiders, Tuskegee Airmen and Women Airforce Service Pilots; astronauts Eileen Collins, Joe Engle and Gene Cernan; and entrepreneurs Howard Hughes and Rod Lewis.
In 2024, The Lone Star Flight Museum inducted aviation pioneer, Wally Funk into the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame. Her unwavering determination and resilient spirit were the driving factors behind her many accomplishments in aerospace. She was a trailblazer and role model, embodied American grit and always encouraged others to never give up on their dreams. She will be greatly missed by so many, but never forgotten.
