National Aviation Hall Of Fame

More Than Two Thousand Come Out For The Black Tie Event

POSTED: 9:08 p.m. EDT July 19, 2003

Aviation pioneers who set air speed records,

orbited the Earth and walked on the moon were saluted Saturday night in

Dayton.

The hometown of Wilbur and Orville Wright is celebrating the

100th anniversary of powered flight.

Twenty-two of the 178 people who have been enshrined in the

National Aviation Hall of Fame were honored by the hall in a

"homecoming" at the Dayton Convention Center.

Actor-pilot Harrison Ford served as master of ceremonies.

Ford thanked the pioneers for giving us a century of drama and

energy and excitement and for changing our world.

The great-grandnephew and great-grandniece of the Wright

brothers -- Stephen Wright and Amanda Wright Lane -- led a toast of

the historic duo.

A video tribute to the Wright brothers was played on seven giant

television screens that hung in the convention center.
