The National Aviation Hall of Fame (NAHF) has extended the deadline for making reservations to attend its enshrinement events in Dayton on July 17 and 18.

This year’s inductees are: Shuttle astronaut Eileen Collins; former Cessna Chairman and CEO Russell Meyer, Jr.; the late Brigadier General James M. Stewart, USAFR (Ret); and Gemini spacewalker and Apollo 1 astronaut, the late Ed White, II.
