[b]Miles O'Brien to emcee National Aviation Hall of Fame 2010 Enshrinement ceremonies[/b] The National Aviation Hall of Fame (NAHF) announced that newscaster, anchor, reporter and pilot Miles O'Brien, will serve as the Master-of-Ceremonies for its 49th Annual Enshrinement Dinner & Ceremony in Dayton, Ohio, on July 17, 2010. O'Brien will lead the prestigious induction ceremony, where four more American pioneers of flight are to be honored for their contributions to aviation. They will join the roster of 203 men and women previously so honored by the NAHF. An experienced licensed pilot and aircraft owner, he has distinguished himself covering aviation and space in addition to major global news events around the world. In early 2002, after years if persistent negotiation, O'Brien secured a deal with NASA that would have sent him on a space shuttle mission to the International Space Station. The deal was scuttled after the Columbia accident. "O'Brien brings a deep understanding of the role aviation and space has played in both the history and business of our country," said Ron Kaplan, enshrinement director for the NAHF. "As someone who is at home in the cockpit as he is in front of the camera, Miles O'Brien will be a great emcee for the 'Oscar Night of Aviation.'" O'Brien is the president his own production company based in New York City that serves corporate, government and non-profit educational organizations with a focus on science, technology, the environment and aerospace. O'Brien spent nearly 17 years as the chief science environment and aerospace correspondent at CNN (1992-2008). Concurrently, he also anchored several CNN news programs including CNN Saturday and Sunday Morning, Live From..., TalkBack Live and American Morning.
