Two Events To Honor Aviation Legends from AVwebFlash Current Issue | Coming up next week, the Living Legends of Aviation, a group of famous pilots, astronauts, entrepreneurs, and others involved in the world of flight, holds its 7th annual event to honor those who have made significant contributions to aviation. On Jan. 22, in Beverly Hills, Calif., John Travolta will present awards to actor Tom Cruise and astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Cruise, an accomplished aerobatic pilot, owns a P-51 Mustang, and inspired generations of moviegoers with his work in Top Gun, the highest-grossing aviation movie ever. Aldrin is one of the 12 humans who have walked on the moon. The ceremony is open to the public, but be prepared to dig deep -- tickets go for $800 each, or just $250 for the after-party only.

Only eight of those crew members remain, and about 40 of the airplanes are still flying. This April, seven of those survivors and 25 of the airplanes will meet in a one-time event to be held in Dayton, Ohio, to honor the Doolittle Raiders.
