Delaware Aviation Hall of Fame

The Delaware Aviation Hall of Fame commemorates the First State’s aviation greats. The Hall of Fame celebrates distinction in building Delaware aviation; it honors outstanding service in military and civilian aviation.

Public Participates

Since its inception in 2000, the Hall of Fame has inducted 140 persons (61 posthumously). The 2023 class of inductees were honored on October 28th at the Annual Honors Banquet, held at The Executive Banquet & Conference Center in Newark, Delaware. They were selected by the Board of Trustees on the basis of public nominations.

Youth Award

In addition to the inductees, the DAHF sponsors an annual Youth Achievement Award, given to the young adult who has distinguished himself or herself in aviation career development.
