The Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame will host its 33rd Annual Enshrinement Banquet on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at the Century of Flight Hangar in Warner Robins, Georgia. The Georgia WWII Heritage Trail proudly joins the statewide aviation community in celebrating this prestigious occasion and recognizing the 2026 class of inductees.
When it comes to honoring Georgia’s aviation pioneers, there is no event more significant than the Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame’s annual enshrinement banquet. This year’s ceremony will induct three aviation legends before an anticipated audience of more than 400 family members, friends, former enshrinees, aerospace and defense leaders, government officials, media representatives, and aviation enthusiasts from across the state.
The Georgia WWII Heritage Trail is honored to recognize the Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame as a founding partner of the Trail and a long-standing steward of Georgia’s aviation heritage.
“The Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame has played a vital role in preserving and sharing the stories of the men and women who shaped aviation in our state,” said Ed Coleman, Chair of the Georgia WWII Heritage Trail. “Their mission aligns closely with the Trail’s commitment to honoring Georgia’s contributions to victory in World War II and ensuring these stories continue to educate and inspire future generations.”
The evening begins with a one-hour reception in the Century of Flight Hangar, followed by a gourmet dinner and live presentations honoring each inductee. Special video productions will be featured as part of the enshrinement ceremony.
