A visionary pioneer in homebuilt design and a popular couple whose fatal crash saddened the entire experimental community are among six inductees to EAA's 2024 Sport Aviation Halls of Fame. The inductees are Zenith Aircraft's Sebastien Heintz for the Homebuilders Hall of Fame; Linda Meyers Morrissey, Aerobatics; Frank Strickler, Warbirds; Dave and Jeanne Allen (posthumous), Vintage; and Dave Goulet, Ultralights (posthumous). The ceremony will be held Oct. 16 in EAA's Eagle Hangar at the EAA Aviation Museum in Oshkosh.

Heintz is a founder of Zenith Aircraft, Morrissey earned many aerobatics competition awards, Strickler founded warbirds maintenance company Fox 51, Goulet helped found Quad City Ultralights, which sold hundreds of Challenger ultralights, and the Allens were meticulous restorers of rare vintage aircraft who died in the crash of their Waco YKC on June 30.

(An earlier version of this story included an incorrect date for the ceremony)
