The May 17 dedication ceremony was attended by a large number of Schoneberger’s colleagues and associates from SCAA, Flight Path and other organizations. He was present for the event along with his son an daughter-in-law. In addition to serving SCAA as president and a longtime member of its Board of Directors, Bill Schoneberger was for many years editor of its newsletter, The Aileron.
