Skeel Avenue on Area A, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, was named after Capt. Burt Skeel, June 7, 2022. Skeel was killed piloting a Curtiss R-6 Racer during the International Air Races at Wilbur Wright Field in 1924. Flying at roughly 275 mph, the wings broke away from the fuselage and the aircraft plummeted 2,000 feet to the ground. (U.S. Air Force photo by Matthew Clouse)
