Colorado Aviation Hall of Fame
The CAHS honors the State's historic aviators and conducts the nomination process for induction into the Colorado Aviation Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame is part of the Heritage Hall Exhibit Room located in the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum. Exhibits are rotated periodically and depict such history as the Colorado Air National Guard, general aviation, women in aviation, timeline of aviation history, and Colorado civil and commercial aviation. The induction ceremony is held during CAHS's annual banquet.
Aviation Archaeology Program
CAHS' flagship program is the Aviation Archaeology (AvAr) Program. The Program was designed in 2005 and its inaugural class was held in 2006. The rudiments of aviation archaeology training subjects include preliminary project research of accident reports, federal/state laws, simple orienteering, site documentation and investigation. AvAr Program members visit aircraft crash sites, old missiles facilities, former aircraft manufacturing facilities, abandoned airfields and airstrips. There are over 800 military aircraft crash sites in Colorado.
