Aviation and Spaceflight have had a profound impact on Colorado’s past, and will continue to shape our future. Our organization was founded in 1966 to preserve the story of these exciting endeavors and honor the people who contributed to their success.
The Society’s aircraft and artifacts are on display at Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum in Denver and the Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum.
Membership is open to all who have an interest in general, commercial, or military aviation. Our archives are available to authors and historians.
Exploring our state’s great aviation heritage is the passion of our members. We work to discover, record and preserve the stories of those creative and adventurous people who have made Colorado a major force in the development of aerospace activities worldwide.
The Colorado Aviation Hall of Fame was created in 1969 to honor individuals who have made significant contributions in the field of aviation in Colorado. The first laureates were pioneer aviators who were self-taught and flew temperamental aircraft from open fields. In time, laureates included aircraft designers and manufacturers, fixed base operators, airline entrepreneurs, educators, journalists, and authors. Each of them have been major contributors to the development of aviation in Colorado.
The Hall of Fame is located at Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum in Denver, Colorado.
The object and purpose for which the Society was formed is to acquire, restore, and preserve and provide for public display, aircraft and other items of historic interest in connection with the development of aviation and space flight in the state of Colorado.
