Our Heroes Suite
small corners of the rooms dedicated to different individuals that
played a major roles in the development and promotion of both military and
general aviation, people that may be hard to dedicate a whole suite to
individually or who may not be commonly known to the public but who's names
are familiar and their stories very interesting... Kelly Johnson, Bill Lear,
Clyde Cessna, William Piper, Walter and Olive Beech, Donald Douglas, Howard
Hughes, ect.

Cochrane, Emilia Earhardt, Bess Coleman, Amy Johnson, the WACs, 99's, WASPs,

well as many more that I'm not familiar with but are just as deserving.
