Wiley Post Airport, a large FAA designated reliever airport in Oklahoma City, is named after Post.
Oklahoma City's major commercial airport is named after Will Rogers, so that both victims of the crash are honored by airports in Oklahoma City.
The Will Rogers – Wiley Post Memorial Seaplane Base is a seaplane base located on Lake Washington, at the north end of the Renton Municipal Airport in Renton, Washington.
The U.S. Army Air Forces (later United States Air Force) named a street on the former Maywood Army Air Forces Specialized Storage Depot (later Cheli Air Force Station), after Post.
No longer owned by the federal government, Wiley Post Road remains, connecting Bandini Boulevard and Lindbergh Lane in Bell, California.
Post received the Distinguished Flying Cross (1932), the Gold Medal of Belgium (1934), and the International Harmon Trophy (1934).
He was enshrined in the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 1969.
Post was inducted into the First Flight Society's First Flight Shrine, located at the Wright Brothers National Memorial, on December 17, 1970.
In 1997, he was inducted into the International Air & Space Hall of Fame at the San Diego Air & Space Museum.
In 1979, the United States Postal Service honored Post with two airmail stamps.
Post was inducted posthumously into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 2004.
For many years, The Wiley Post Commission, based in Oklahoma City, presented the annual Wiley Post Spirit Award to "an individual in general aviation who best exemplifies the innovative and pioneering spirit of Wiley Post."

Bakewell pudding
Bakewell pudding is an English dessert consisting of a flaky pastry base with a layer of sieved jam and topped with a filling made of egg and almond paste.
References to "Bakewell pudding" appear earlier than the term "Bakewell tart", which entered common usage in the 20th century.
In the "Oxford Companion to Food" by Alan Davidson, it is claimed the earliest reference to "Bakewell pudding" comes from "The Cook and Housewife's Manual" by Margaret Dods and published in 1826.
This is, however, erroneous as no recipe for "Bakewell pudding" (or indeed Bakewell tart) appears in the 1826 edition.
A recipe for "bakewell pudding" does, however, appear in the 1847 edition.
One of the earliest verifiable examples of a Bakewell pudding recipe comes from "The Magazine of Domestic Economy" issued in London in 1836.
Eliza Acton published a recipe in her 1845 work "Modern Cookery for Private Families" and Mrs Beeton published two recipes for Bakewell pudding, one which used a pastry base and one which used breadcrumbs, in her Book of Household Management in 1861.
The pudding originated in the Derbyshire town of Bakewell.
The origins of the pudding are not clear, but a common story is that it was first made by accident in 1820 (other sources cite 1860) by Mrs Greaves, who was the landlady of the White Horse Inn (since demolished).
She supposedly left instructions for her cook to make a jam tart.
The cook, instead of stirring the eggs and almond paste mixture into the pastry, spread it on top of the jam.
When cooked, the egg and almond paste set like an egg custard, and the result was successful enough for it to become a popular dish at the inn.
The dates and/or premises given in this story are unlikely to be accurate as the White Horse Inn was demolished in 1803 to make way for the development of Rutland Square and subsequently the Rutland Arms Hotel.
Additionally, Eliza Acton provides a recipe for 'Bakewell pudding' in her book "Modern Cookery for Private Families" which was published in 1845, making the pudding's creation date of 1860 impossible.
Manson Family
The Manson Family was a desert commune and cult active in California in the late 1960s and early 1970s which was led by Charles Manson.
The group consisted of approximately 100 of his followers who lived an unconventional lifestyle with habitual use of hallucinogenic drugs such as LSD.
Most of the group members were young women from middle-class backgrounds, many of whom were radicalized by Manson's teachings and drawn by hippie culture and communal living.
Manson was released from prison for petty crimes in 1967, and the Family moved to San Francisco and later to a deserted ranch in the San Fernando Valley.
According to group member Susan Atkins, the Family believed that Manson was a manifestation of Jesus and that his prophecies were reliable concerning an imminent, apocalyptic race war.
They gained international attention after the murder of actress Sharon Tate and four others on August 9, 1969.
The murders were committed by Tex Watson, Susan Atkins, and Patricia Krenwinkel.
Linda Kasabian was also present but did not take part.
Group members were also responsible for a number of other murders, assaults, petty crimes, and thefts.
Following his release from prison on March 21, 1967, Charles Manson received permission to move to San Francisco, where, with the help of a prison acquaintance, he moved into an apartment in Berkeley.
In prison, bank robber Alvin Karpis had taught Manson to play the steel guitar.
Living mostly by begging, Manson soon became acquainted with Mary Brunner, a 23-year-old graduate of the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Brunner was working as a library assistant at the University of California, Berkeley, and Manson moved in with her.
According to a second-hand account, he overcame her resistance to his bringing other women in to live with them.
Before long, they were sharing Brunner's residence with eighteen other women.
Manson established himself as a guru in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, which during 1967's "Summer of Love" was emerging as the signature hippie locale.
Manson appeared to have borrowed his philosophy from the Process Church of the Final Judgment, whose members believed Satan would become reconciled to Christ and they would come together at the end of the world to judge humanity.
Manson soon had the first of his groups of followers, which have been called the "Manson Family", most of them female.
Manson taught his followers that they were the reincarnation of the original Christians, and that the Romans were the establishment.
He strongly implied that he was Christ; he often told a story envisioning himself on the cross with the nails in his feet and hands.
Sometime around 1967, he began using the alias "Charles Willis Manson."
He often said it very slowly ("Charles's Will Is Man's Son")—implying that his will was the same as that of the Son of Man.
Before the end of the summer, Manson and eight or nine of his enthusiasts piled into an old school bus they had re-wrought in hippie style, with colored rugs and pillows in place of the many seats they had removed.
They roamed as far north as Washington State, then southward through Los Angeles, Mexico, and the American Southwest.
Returning to the Los Angeles area, they lived in Topanga Canyon, Malibu, and Venice—western parts of the city and county.
In 1967, Brunner became pregnant by Manson and, on April 15, 1968, gave birth to a son she named Valentine Michael (nicknamed "Pooh Bear") in a condemned house in Topanga Canyon, assisted during the birth by several of the young women from the Family.
Brunner (like most members of the group) acquired a number of aliases and nicknames, including: "Marioche", "Och", "Mother Mary", "Mary Manson", "Linda Dee Manson" and "Christine Marie Euchts".
Actor Al Lewis had Manson babysit his children on a couple of occasions and described him as "a nice guy when I knew him".
Producer Phil Kaufman introduced Manson to young Universal Studios producer Gary Stromberg, then working on a film adaptation of the life of Jesus set in modern America, featuring a black Jesus and southern "redneck Romans".
Stromberg thought that Manson made interesting suggestions about what Jesus might do in a situation, seeming to be attuned to the role.
He had one of his women kiss his feet and then kiss hers in return to demonstrate the place of women.
At the beach one day, Stromberg watched while Manson preached against a materialistic outlook, only to be questioned about his well-furnished bus.
He casually tossed the bus keys to the doubter, who promptly drove it away while Manson watched, apparently unconcerned.
According to Stromberg, Manson had a dynamic personality with an ability to read a person's weaknesses and manipulate them.
For example, Manson tried to manipulate an influential member of a motorcycle gang by granting him access to Family women; he then convinced the biker that it was the biker's large penis which kept the women in the group.
Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys picked up Patricia Krenwinkel and Ella Jo Bailey when they were hitchhiking in late spring 1968, while under the influence of alcohol and LSD.
and brought them to his Pacific Palisades house for a few hours.
He returned home in the early hours of the following morning from a night recording session and was greeted by Manson in the driveway, who emerged from the house.
Wilson asked the stranger whether he intended to hurt him.
Manson assured him that he had no such intent and began kissing Wilson's feet.
Inside the house, Wilson discovered 12 strangers, mostly women.
The account given in "Manson in His Own Words" is that Manson first met Wilson at a friend's San Francisco house where Manson had gone to obtain marijuana.
Manson claimed that Wilson gave him his Sunset Boulevard address and invited him to stop by when he came to Los Angeles.
Wilson said in a 1968 "Record Mirror" article that he mentioned the Beach Boys' involvement with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to a group of strange women, and "they told me they too had a guru, a guy named Charlie."
The number of women doubled in Wilson's house over the next few months, and they cost him approximately $100,000 by making themselves part of his household.
This included a large medical bill for treatment of their gonorrhea and $21,000 for the destruction of his uninsured car which they borrowed.
Wilson would sing and talk with Manson, while the women were treated as servants to them both.
Wilson paid for studio time to record songs written and performed by Manson, and introduced him to entertainment business acquaintances including Gregg Jakobson, Terry Melcher, and Rudi Altobelli, who owned a house which he rented to actress Sharon Tate and her husband Roman Polanski.
Jakobson was impressed by "the whole Charlie Manson package" of artist, life-stylist, and philosopher, and he paid to record his material.
Wilson moved out of his rented home when the lease expired, and his landlord evicted the Family.
Manson established a base for the Family at the Spahn Ranch in August 1968 after Wilson's manager evicted them.
It had been a television and movie set for Westerns, but the buildings had deteriorated by the late 1960s and the ranch's revenue was primarily derived from selling horseback rides.
Female Family members did chores around the ranch and, occasionally, had sex on Manson's orders with the nearly blind 80 year-old owner George Spahn.
The women also acted as seeing-eye guides for him.
In exchange, Spahn allowed Manson and his group to live at the ranch for free.
Lynette Fromme acquired the nickname "Squeaky" because she often squeaked when Spahn pinched her thigh.
Charles Watson, a small-town Texan who had quit college and moved to California, soon joined the group at the ranch.
He met Manson at Wilson's house; Watson had given Wilson a ride while Wilson was hitchhiking after his car was wrecked.
Spahn nicknamed him "Tex" because of his pronounced Texas drawl.
