Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame to Induct Four New Members and Honour

a Belt of Orion Recipient in 2016Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame (CAHF) will induct four new members, and recognize a Belt of Orion recipient at

its 43rd annual gala dinner and ceremony, to be held Thursday June 9, 2016, at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, at Rockcliffe Airport in Ottawa. The annual black-tie event is a highlight in Canadian Aviation celebration and draws attendance from across Canada and abroad.

To be honoured by CAHF in 2016 are:

Frederick James Carmichael, C.M. LL.D.: Fred Carmichael has spent over 60 years in Northern aviation. His accomplishments include aviation entrepreneur, search and rescue missions, medical evacuations and mentorship of numerous aboriginal youth. Fred’s contributions to community life in the Northwest Territories include long-term service with the Gwich’in Tribal Council, and holding the position of Chair of the Aboriginal Pipeline group since 2002. In 1955, he was the first aboriginal person in the North to get a pilot’s licence and continues to hold a Commercial Pilot Licence. As a commercial pilot for many years, he has started two of his own aviation companies, Reindeer Air Service Ltd. and Western Arctic Air Ltd. He has been recognized widely for his accomplishments both locally and throughout the country, and is an Honorary Life Member of the Northern Air Transport Association. Fred was made a Member of the Order of Canada in 2010 and received an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Saskatchewan in 2013.

Kathleen Carol Fox: Kathy Fox has dedicated her entire life to the aviation community in Canada both through her personal activities in the flight instruction, sport aviation and sport parachuting fields, and also in her professional capacities in the promotion and advancement of flight safety. In this latter role, she has had an outstanding career in the air traffic control community. At NAV CANADA she reached the highest levels of management. Following retirement, with the Transportation Safety Board she was appointed Chair in 2014. During all this time she has continued to play an active role in the general aviation world, promoting flight safety and assisting with the training and examination of aspiring aviators at all levels.

William Ross Lennox: Ross Lennox was involved in aviation in Canada for over six decades, retiring as chief test pilot and head of flight operations for Pratt & Whitney Canada with over 23,000 hours flown during which he was responsible for several remarkable accomplishments. From his beginnings in the wartime RCAF culminating in duties as a Dakota pilot in Europe, he moved on to nearly twenty years in the Canadian north. During that time he operated helicopters in support of the DEW Line project. In 1963 he joined United Aircraft of Canada and shortly thereafter flew the first-ever unescorted helicopter transit of the North Atlantic. Other significant accomplishments included test flying every one of the RCN’s order of Sikorsky Sea Kings and all subsequent development work on this aircraft. He completed the testing of the PT6 engine, and served as lead test pilot for the PW100, JT15D and PT-6-50 engines. He was recognized officially by many organizations for his thousands of hours of incident free flying, for his promotion of safety and for his outstanding work as a search and rescue pilot. Mr. Lennox died in November 2013.

Beverley Strahan Shenstone: Only belatedly recognized as the aerodynamicist responsible for the design of the iconic elliptical wing of the Supermarine Spitfire, Bev Shenstone is regarded as one of the greatest Canadian aeronautical engineers. He broke new ground as the first Canadian to be awarded a graduate degree in aeronautics from a Canadian university. His graduate studies on stability of the Vedette flying boat were of great use to the RCAF. He was part of the team which created the specifications which led to the Canadair North Star. He was technical director for BOAC, involved in feasibility work concerning bringing SST aircraft into commercial service. Privately, he was instrumental in the growth of institutions focussed on non-powered, and especially human-powered flight both in Canada and internationally. He was instrumental in the creation of the Soaring Association of Canada, the introduction of rules for licensing pilots, registering sailplanes, training standards, and development of gliders. He was similarly involved with British soaring organizations and in the establishment of a series of prizes for accomplishments in man- powered flight. During this period he was the only Canadian to become the president of the Royal Aeronautical Society. Mr. Shenstone died in 1979.

Belt of Orion Award for Excellence: Royal Canadian Naval Air Branch (1945-1968): The Royal Canadian Naval Air Branch grew out of the wartime experience of Canadian air and naval forces as integral parts of the Royal Navy, married to a decision that the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) would develop an autonomous aviation capability. The need for this became clear with the onset of the Cold War and the need for Canadian aviation resources to counter Soviet conventional and then nuclear submarine threats in the Atlantic. From modest beginnings, the small Royal Canadian Naval Air Branch developed a highly respected level of operational capability, both from the three carriers it employed during its lifetime, and also for its ability to innovate tand overcome resource constraints in the face of operational necessities. Such innovation was evidenced by the pioneer work to operate anti-submarine helicopters from small surface warships. That also included the ground-breaking adoption of a haul-down system to permit landing on small decks. This occurred far in advance of the adoption of such systems by the RCN’s larger NATO allies. The Naval Air Branch was a distinct organization that made an outstanding contribution to the advancement of aviation in Canada.
