Previous FFS Honorary Members include General Charles McGee, Colonel Gail Halvorsen, Patty Wagstaff, Rob Holland and Sean D Tucker.

This year's honoree is General Benjamin O. Davis, Jr, the first black General in the United States Air Force. Davis was commander of the famed Tuskegee Airmen in World War II. He will be inducted into the Paul E. Garber First Flight Shrine at Wright Brothers National Memorial on December 17, 2022.
