for each of the three voting groups. Copies of the

of Fame Board of Trustees. The Hall of Fame Board of

this review.
INDUCTION
Inductions into the AAAA Hall of Fame are conducted
annually. The selected individuals will be inducted
during ceremonies that are held during the annual
Army Aviation Hall of Fame Induction Dinner. The
actual Army Aviation Hall of Fame is located at the
U.S. Army Aviation Museum in Fort Rucker, Alabama,
where the portraits of the Inductees and descriptive
narratives are displayed. |
