The state’s historic aviation museum in Greenfield hosts a dinner tonight and will add new names to its Iowa Aviation Hall of Fame. Creston native Walt Cunningham, Iowa’s first astronaut, will be among them. Cunningham will be signing copies of a book he’s written. New inductees also include Louis Schalk who test-piloted the S-R 71 Blackbird spyplane, and the Wright Brothers, who spent a few formative years when they were just boys growing up in Cedar Falls.
