Geocache Description:

Visit the location of a memorial dedicated to the pioneers of aviation.

As a pilot and aviation enthusiast, I find this location tobe quite humbling. It is, according to its builders, a shrine to aviation, honoring the pioneers of flight. Several of these pioneers are actually buried at the portal.

Go to the portal during regular hours and find the plaque honoring the first civilian student and instructor for the Wright Brothers (the first person buried at the portal, by the way). Note his full name and date of death, and email this information to me.

DO NOT POST YOUR LOG ENTRY UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED MY PERMISSION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS POLICY WILL RESULT IN YOUR LOG ENTRY BEING DELETED. I did not want to take this route, but recent events have forced my hand. Thanks for your understanding!

A few requests/caveats: Be mindful of your surroundings and keep in mind the solemnity of the location. Drive slowly, act respectfully, and maintain decorum.
