"National Aviation Hall of Fame"

Hello,
In "Flying" magazine March 2004 :
"the NAHF will honor new members : Patty Wagstaff airshow headliner and three-times U.S. National Aerobatic champion " !!
"Patty Wagstaff was born into an Air Force family in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1951, eventually settling in Japan. From there she continued her cross-cultural academic career in Southeast Asia, Europe and Australia before moving to Alaska where she learned to fly in 1979. Wagstaff eagerly went on to earn numerous flight and instructor ratings. Upon setting a goal of competing in aerobatics, she first earned a spot on the U.S. Aerobatic Team in 1985. In 1991, she became the first woman to win the title of U.S. National Aerobatic Champion, repeating that feat the following two years in a row. An inspirational role model and aviation ambassador, her standard-setting aerial performances annually thrill millions of air show spectators worldwide. "

Congratulations Patty!

Regards
Emile

Dear Emile

Thank you for your posting. It's a tremendous honor for me, of course; and I can hardly believe I'm going to be inducted.

Best!
Patty
