Idaho aviators inducted into hall of fame
Boise-Four Idaho aviators were inducted into the Idaho Aviation Hall of Fame this week in Boise.
The Late Virgil Adair of Lewiston, the late A.A. Bennett of Idaho Falls, Gladys Buroker of Athol, Idaho, and the late Cyril C. Thompson of Boise were recognized by the hall of fame for their contributions to Idaho aviation.
Adair owned an air service at Boise during the late 1920s and participated in every acrobatic flying competition in the Pacific Northwest from the mid-1920s until World War II, when he served the U.S. Air Force in the European and Pacific theaters.
He was a commercial pilot in Miami and Cincinnati before moving to Lewiston in 1960. He and his wife Norma owned and operated the Tailwind Restaurant in Lewiston Airport.
Adair's pilot's license was signed by Orville Write and he was a member of the Quiet Birdmen, a prestigious pilot's organization.
The Idaho Aviation Hall of Fame is seeking a permanent site for the construction of a building to house the Idaho Aviation Heritage Museum, temporarily at Gowen Field at Boise.
