The latest additions to the Aerospace Walk of Honor include original Mercury 7 astronaut Leroy Gordon "Gordo" Cooper Jr.; Apollo 11 command module pilot Michael Collins; and the first female space shuttle commander, retired Air Force Col. Eileen M. Collins, will add their names to the 90 already honored with plaques along Lancaster Boulevard.
The three astronauts will be joined by test pilots Irving L. "Irv" Burrows, who piloted the first flight of the F-15 Eagle fighter jet, and retired Air Force Col. Joe Schiele, who was heavily involved in aviation technology development and flight research programs.
