This page contains photographs that I took of pictures hanging in the entrance to the Soaring California ride at the California Adventure Theme Park across from Disneyland in California. I frankly stood in awe as I read every plate for every picture at the entrance. I was amazed at the number of people who just walked by while I was reading. This is a true Who's Who of California Aviation. Of course there are other pioneers who do not appear here since they had little to do with California. It is my intent to create another page for those pioneers. If you have suggestions and or contributions for that page, please send them to me. Please forgive the reflections in the pictures, there is little I can do about them.
