From the early days of flight to the modern era of aerospace technology, the region has played a significant role in the evolution of the aviation industry. Since 1996, The Kentucky Aviation Hall of Fame has honored the aeronautical achievements of native Kentuckians who have soared to great heights, including Covington native Roy Osborne, the commonwealth’s first air board inspector and the first to fly a Kentucky State Police aircraft.
