Synopsis: The Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame (WAHF) is planning a series of events to celebrate Wisconsin’s Centennial of Flight, including the construction of a quarter-scale model “Warner” Curtiss Pusher similar to the one that first flew in Wisconsin in 1909. WAHF has teamed with EAA Chapter 60 of Beloit, Wisconsin, for the construction of the model in time for its unveiling at the Wisconsin Aviation Conference on May 4-6, 2009, in Eau Claire. The Beloit Convention and Visitors Bureau is also a partner in promoting the event and coordinating with local schools for developing in-service training with teachers to incorporate the Centennial of Flight in their student programs, including field trips to the Beloit Historical Society. The celebration will culminate the first week in November with a rededication of the Wisconsin Historical Marker commemorating Wisconsin’s first flight at its original site and a program at the Beloit Historical Society with a guest speaker covering this historical event. Throughout the year, WAHF will be making presentations across the state on the Centennial covering significant aviation events and individuals who played key roles in our state’s and country’s progress in aviation and space initiatives.
