Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame to Induct Four New
Members and Honour a Belt of Orion Recipient
Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame (CAHF) will induct four new members at its 42 nd annual gala
dinner and ceremony to be held Thursday, June 4, 2015, at the Skyservice Business
Aviation Hangar in Toronto, Ontario, at the Toronto Pearson International Airport. The annual
black-tie event is a highlight in Canadian aviation celebration and draws attendance from
across Canada.
To be honoured by CAHF in 2015 are:
Arthur Roy Brown, DSC: Known to most Canadians for his
decisive involvement in the epic action of 21 April 1918
resulting in the demise of Manfred von Richthofen, the “Red
Baron.” Brown had an outstanding record of service in the
Royal Naval Air Service and the Royal Air Force. He was an
outstanding combat leader who persevered on active duty
despite poor health and injuries. He never lost a member of
his flight because of the care he took in introducing
newcomers onto operations. Postwar, his steadfast interest
in flying led him to found a highly successful aviation
company operating in northern Ontario and Quebec
westward to Manitoba throughout the 1930s. In poor health
and suffering the medical effects of his wartime crashes, he
died at the young age of 50 in 1944.
James Stuart “Jim” McBride: From initial roots in the
technical side of the RCAF, Jim McBride used his
entrepreneurial talents to build successful franchises for the
marketing of Piper aircraft and Hughes helicopters across
Canada. From modest beginnings in the charter business
supporting Manitoba Hydro in its major power projects in
northern Manitoba, he went on to develop profitable and
innovative air transport businesses culminating with the
rescue and turnaround of the Winnipeg based regional
carrier, Transair. Later he developed aircraft franchises and
helicopter based charter operations in support of the
resource industry in western Canada.
George Edward Miller, O.M.M., CD: He has combined
several careers in Canada’s aviation world and his
accomplishments have cemented his reputation as an
outstanding leader. His 35 years of service in the RCAF/CF
were marked by many superlatives, chief amongst them his
selection as the 1973 leader of the “Snowbirds” aerobatic
team. Many of the signature elements of the current team’s
identity and operational approach were implemented during
his tenure ranging from the nine aircraft formation to the
team’s distinctive branding. His post air force career
included running air shows in Ottawa, the significant and
sustained development of the Langley Regional Airport into
a major part of the airport infrastructure of British Columbia
and the leadership of a new formation team active in the Lower Mainland, the “Fraser Blues”.
Owen Bartley “O.B.” Philp, C.M., DFC, CD: Widely
acknowledged as the driving spirit behind the founding of
the acclaimed “Snowbirds” air demonstration team,
“O.B.” Philp was a revered and decorated air force
leader. His wartime service included operational flying in
both Europe and Burma. As Base Commander at CFB
Moose Jaw, he created the nucleus of an aerial
demonstration team for Canada that finally won official
recognition as 431 Aerial Demonstration Squadron in
1978 - the Snowbirds. The International Council of Air
Shows acknowledged him as the “Father of the
Snowbirds” in 1984. He was made a Member of the
Order of Canada in 1993 in recognition of his
outstanding contribution to the military history of
Canada. He died in 1995.
Belt of Orion Award for Excellence: AeroVelo Inc.
The AeroVelo story is one of the most remarkable
accomplishments of Canadian applied aeronautical
engineering during the entire history of manned flight in
this country. The team of researchers and engineers
who make up AeroVelo were the first to accomplish two
of the seminal feats of human powered flight: the first
flight of a human powered ornithopter in 2010 and the
first flight of a human powered helicopter in 2013. Both
accomplishments
have
resulted
in
significant
international and Canadian recognition. The flight of the
human powered ornithopter was certified as a “first” by the Fédération Aéronautique
Internationale (FAI) and won the McKee Trophy in 2011. The human powered helicopter
flight won the coveted “Sikorsky” prize established for such an accomplishment by the
American Helicopter Society 33 years ago plus a prestigious FAI award and the 2013 J.A.D.
McCurdy Award from the Air Force Association of Canada. AeroVelo Inc. will be represented
at the Hall of Fame inductions by Todd Reichert (left) and Cameron Robertson.
