The 2003 <strong>Illinois</strong> Aviation Hall <strong>of</strong> Fame winners from left are Larry Byerly, Oliver Boyd Clow and wives <strong>of</strong> the Moody Brothers, Hunter<br />
and Humphrey.<br />
Larry Byerly, Oliver Boyd Clow, and the Moody<br />
Brothers were inducted into the <strong>Illinois</strong> Aviation Hall<br />
<strong>of</strong> Fame for 2003. They were presented their awards at<br />
the <strong>Illinois</strong> Aviation Hall <strong>of</strong> Fame Banquet held in conjunction<br />
with the <strong>Illinois</strong> Aviation Conference. Following<br />
is a biographical sketch <strong>of</strong> the winners and their<br />
accomplishments.<br />
Larry B. Byerly – a lifelong Peorian. He grew<br />
up in the family owned aviation business, which his <strong>Illinois</strong><br />
Hall <strong>of</strong> Fame father, R. Millard Byerly, started on<br />
the old grass Mt. Hawley Airport, Peoria, IL, more than<br />
seven decades ago.<br />
Byerly has been president <strong>of</strong> Byerly Aviation since<br />
1968. He has shown time and time again that his generosity<br />
and dedication to the aviation industry are sincere<br />
and heartfelt. Byerly has helped many people obtain careers<br />
in the aviation industry who may not otherwise have<br />
had the means.<br />
Byerly is an advocate <strong>of</strong> college internship programs.<br />
He allows interns, with an interest in aviation,<br />
to work for Byerly Aviation in Peoria. He also finances<br />
a scholarship through the aviation program<br />
at Southern <strong>Illinois</strong> University, where he is<br />
a member <strong>of</strong> the Aviation Advisory Committee.<br />
Numerous Byerly Aviation employees have continued<br />
in their aviation careers to become corporate<br />
pilots, airline pilots and maintenance technicians.<br />
Larry Byerly is a respected member <strong>of</strong> the Peoria<br />
community, and the aviation community around<br />
the world.<br />
Oliver Boyd Clow – started Clow International<br />
Airport in Bolingbrook, IL, in the 1950s.<br />
Through hard work and perseverance he helped<br />
the airport become home to a variety <strong>of</strong> general<br />
aviation aircraft. Over the years he has been a<br />
steadfast advocate for general aviation in <strong>Illinois</strong>.<br />
If there was someone on the field who could not<br />
afford to rent a plane to learn how to fly he would<br />
<strong>of</strong>fer the use <strong>of</strong> his Cessna 150. Warbirds, experimental<br />
aircraft, ultralights, helicopters, gliders<br />
and wing walkers are all welcome.<br />
However, there was a time when the pressures<br />
<strong>of</strong> urban sprawl threatened to close the airport,<br />
because it was surrounded by land ideal for<br />
industrial development. To assure the survival <strong>of</strong><br />
his airport Clow spent three years developing alternate<br />
plans. He was successful in negotiating to<br />
keep the airport open and to create a prosperous<br />
relationship with the surrounding community.<br />
He recently donated a Piper Aztec to the Experimental<br />
Aviation Association (EAA) aviation<br />
foundation to aid young aviators in their quest to<br />
discover the joys <strong>of</strong> flying. To know Boyd Clow is<br />
to know flying. Clow’s contribution to <strong>Illinois</strong> aviation<br />
is not in a form that is dramatic, instead, it is a<br />
form that is inspiring.<br />
The Moody Brothers –When Charles<br />
Lindbergh made his famous flight in 1927, Hunter<br />
Moody, the elder <strong>of</strong> two sons born to farmer<br />
Edward Moody and wife Ethel, <strong>of</strong> Dalton City, IL,<br />
became fascinated with flight. At the age <strong>of</strong> 14 he<br />
asked his father if he could take flying lessons.<br />
Hunter soloed after 15 hours and received<br />
his instructor rating by the age <strong>of</strong> sixteen 16. He<br />
taught his father, younger brother Humphrey and<br />
other members <strong>of</strong> his family and community how<br />
to fly.<br />
When the brothers acquired a TriMotor<br />
Ford they barnstormed across the state, selling<br />
rides and using a siren to alert the rural town folk<br />
<strong>of</strong> their arrival. In 1934, Hunter leased the<br />
Bearsdale Airport, Decatur, IL, where he <strong>of</strong>fered<br />
flight instruction and charter service.<br />
In June <strong>of</strong> 1939, Hunter tried to break the<br />
world endurance record <strong>of</strong> 218 hours <strong>of</strong> flying in<br />
a light aircraft. He almost succeeded, but was forced<br />
down due to engine failure.<br />

In this issue <strong>of</strong> <strong>Illinois</strong> Aviation we<br />
have listed places where you can obtain<br />
flight training in <strong>Illinois</strong>. Look it over and<br />
find the one nearest you that meets your<br />
needs, and start your continuing aviation<br />
training today.<br />
There is great value in venturing<br />
forth into new aircraft ratings. How about<br />
getting some training in a sailplane, rotorcraft<br />
or balloon? Continuing your aviation<br />
training is absolutely the best insurance one<br />
can get to guarantee a lifetime <strong>of</strong> good flying<br />
habits and techniques.<br />
In this, the 100th year <strong>of</strong> aviation, it<br />
is great that the National Air Tour will be<br />
returning to its historic roots in <strong>Illinois</strong>.<br />
From the period <strong>of</strong> 1925-1931 <strong>Illinois</strong><br />
provided annual stops for this aviationbuilding<br />
event.<br />
Lansing Municipal Airport will be<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the first stops for National Air Tour<br />
2003, a 4000 mile, and 26 city odyssey for<br />
over 25 vintage aircraft. Lansing (then Chicago-Hammond),<br />
hosted a stop on the<br />
1927 Ford Air Tour. At that time a feature<br />
was its then new Ford Aircraft Hangar<br />
(which currently is on the National Register<br />
<strong>of</strong> Historic Places).<br />
On Sept. 9, 2003, the Lansing ramp<br />
and skyline should feature Sikorsky Flying<br />
Boats, Ford and Stinson Trimotors, and a<br />
number <strong>of</strong> other aircraft from aviation’s<br />
formative Roaring '20s. This should be a<br />
great opportunity to see aviation history<br />
–in the air and not in a museum. For more<br />
information on this all volunteer effort<br />

America at (651) 255-1999 or at their web<br />

During a special ceremony at the 2003<br />
<strong>Illinois</strong> Aviation Conference, Decatur Airport<br />
was named the 2003 Primary Airport <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Year. This award is based on outstanding<br />
work in the areas <strong>of</strong> airport maintenance, community<br />
support, and the promotion <strong>of</strong><br />
aviation.<br />
Decatur Airport managed a total <strong>of</strong><br />
55,531 operations in 2002, and has already seen<br />
an increase in operations for 2003. They have<br />
126 based aircraft ranging from single engines<br />
to helicopters. Additionally, the airport <strong>of</strong>fers<br />
free parking and a business center for passenger<br />
convenience.<br />
Airline service at the airport includes<br />
three roundtrip flights to St Louis provided by<br />
Trans States/American Connection. Departure<br />
times include 5:43 a.m., 1:20 p.m., and 6:05<br />
p.m. Arrivals come in at 12:50 p.m., 5:33 p.m.,<br />
and 10:06 p.m. Travel is on 30 passenger Jet<br />
Stream 41.<br />
The airport has numerous flying clubs<br />
and organizations. These include Decatur Aero<br />
Club, EAA Loren Hodge Chapter #274, Touch<br />
and Go Flying Club, and Vagabond Flight Corporation.<br />
All <strong>of</strong> these organizations help to add<br />
value to Decatur Airport.<br />
The Division <strong>of</strong> Aeronautics would like<br />
to extend their congratulations to Decatur Airport<br />
for all their outstanding efforts.<br />

On July 23, 1939, after Humphrey completed<br />
his private license, he and Hunter installed<br />
a new engine in the plane. They set out from<br />
Springfield Airport in the Miss Springfield to attempt<br />
the record once more. Although forced to<br />
land by an electrical storm, the brothers exceeded<br />
the record by flying 343:46.<br />
With threat <strong>of</strong> war brewing in Europe, the<br />
brothers became flight instructors and prepared<br />
cadets for wartime flying missions; both later became<br />
captains in the 45th Group <strong>of</strong> the Royal Air<br />
Force. After World War II, Humphrey continued<br />
instructing under the GI Bill at Moody Farm Airport,<br />
Dalton City, IL, until it was closed in 1952.<br />
