AAHOF is the brain child of Paul Tyrrell, former CEO of the Regional Aviation Association of Australia. Paul, along with Chris Manning, retired Chief Pilot of Qantas, decided that urgent action was needed to establish the Australian Aviation Hall of Fame.

Honour for those individuals and organisations, whose outstanding contributions have advanced aviation and aerospace significantly, in a national, Australian Aviation Hall of Fame thereby inspiring our future generations.

To establish the Australian Aviation Hall of Fame, to formally induct into it people and organisations that have made an outstanding contribution to civil aviation and aerospace in Australia and Australians who have made an outstanding contribution internationally.

To honour all inductees with a public exhibition of their contribution both electronically via a web site and physically in a facility of national significance in Australia.
