Field Morey was literally born into aviation. His father, Howard Morey, an aviation pioneer gave his first name to him the day that he was awarded a contract to be the first airport manager for the city of Madison, Wisconsin. Field has been dedicated to quality flight instruction for the past 42 years. More than half of his 30,000 hours have been in the role of instrument flight training. The FAA named him Flight Instructor of the year in 1976 and repeated the award in 2002. In addition to operating the Middleton-Morey airport, Field has been a FAA designated pilot examiner for the past 34 years. In November of 2004 Field was inducted into the Aviation Hall of Fame at the EAA headquarters in Oshkosh.
