Aerospace alums honored
Aerospace engineering alumni Robert G. Pitts ’33
and Col. James S. Voss ’72 have been chosen for
induction into the Alabama Aviation Hall of Fame’s
class of 2010, which is the centennial of powered
flight in the state of Alabama. Pitts and
Voss join 15 Auburn alumni who have
been inducted in the organization’s
Hall of Fame in its 28 years of
existence.
The organization plans to honor
Pitts and Voss during the centennial
celebration with a formal induction
ceremony and a permanent
recognition in the Southern
Museum of Flight’s Hall of Fame in
Birmingham.
“The university should be very proud of
the contributions of Auburn graduates to
the aviation and aerospace industry,” says
Billy Singleton, chairman of the Alabama
Aviation Hall of Fame. “Auburn University
has, by far, a greater representation in the
Alabama Aviation Hall of Fame than any other
institution or entity.”
