The Wiley Post Commission has been created by a local group of Oklahoma City pilots and historians to promote the legacy of Wiley Post.

The purpose of the commission is to establish an annual award which gives national and international recognition to an individual in General Aviation, who best exemplifies the engineering and innovative pioneering spirit of Wiley Post. In particular, to someone who hasn't the financial support of either the government, or of a large corporate backer.

Too often achievements in General Aviation or Sport Aviation are not recognized because they are an individual's effort and these pilots and builders do not have the media apparatus to make their endeavors known.

The Commission's selection committee consists of long time aviation professionals, amateur aircraft builders, pilots and a former astronaut. The recipient of the 2008 "Wiley Post Spirit Award will be announced soon.
