An aviation walk of fame will be inaugurated in Westchester Central Business District in a ceremony next week.

The event, hosted by Brig. Gen. Charles E. Yeager, the first pilot to fly faster than the speed of sound, will mark the opening of Flight Path, a sidewalk display of plaques, memorabilia and art on aerospace history. Flight Path is the first phase of a project to build an aerospace learning center next to LAX.

Yeager and eight other aviation pioneers, including Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh, will be honored in plaques.
