Today is National Aviation Day.
I didn’t realize that until a bit ago when a sharp aviation-supplier executive brought it to my attention. Here in the Air Capital, we should take note.
National Aviation Day was established by a presidential proclamation in 1939 to celebrate the development of human flight. Aug. 19, Orville Wright’s birthday, was designated as the anniversary.
Now, if we could only get the day off.

Seems like a good “tie-in” to our Wichita Air Festival!
We should celebrate National Aviation Day every day here in Wichita. If it wasn’t for the airplane business, Wichita would be just another nice small town on the prairie.
