Thursday January 22, 2009 KIDDIE HAWK AIR ACADEMY BEVERLY HILTON HOTEL, BEVERLY HILLS, CA The “Living Legends of Aviation” is a group of seventy (70) admirable people of extraordinary accomplishment. Among the defining criteria used in identifying a “Living Legend of Aviation” is aviation entrepreneurs, innovators, industry leaders, record breakers, astronauts, pilots that have become celebrities and celebrities who have become pilots. As the initial group of Legends evolved, these extraordinary people of aviation nominated others to join them, and the list has gradually grown to seventy people. As Legends take their flight west, they are replaced by new inductees, selected by their fellow Legends. The Legends event is produced by the Kiddie Hawk Air Academy, a non-profit 501(c)(3) qualified organization. Kiddie Hawk introduces children ages 5 thru 11 to flight with the Kiddie Hawk Trainer. The Kiddie Hawk Trainer allows kids to take their first flight lesson with the sophistication of motion and control of real flight, piloting their airplane, albeit just a few feet off the ground. Kiddie Hawk follows the students as they progress, making scholarships available as Kiddie Hawk pilots enter actual flight training. The Kiddie Hawk program also introduces youngsters to other aviation related careers. read more about Living Legends of Aviation at http://www.airportjournals.com/legends/index.cfm
