This is to acknowledge John Scott's contribution to the heritage of aviation and space exploration. His passion for aviation led him to generously contribute his time and financial support to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, so that the world's most significant collection of historic aircraft, spacecraft, and related artifacts would be preserved to inspire future generations. His enthusiasm for the history of aviation has stirred his friends and family into greater levels of awareness and appreciation for one of our most remarkable human achievements, the advent of flight.
