The location of our annual Air Safety Forum this year couldn’t have been more fitting, given our strong connection to Chicago, Ill., and the role the city played in our union's founding and early history. This year’s forum attendees met at the Hilton Chicago, formerly the Stevens Hotel, where—eight decades prior—a different group of aviation stakeholders met to sign an agreement that outlined a framework for international air commerce. On Nov. 1, 1944, approximately 700 representatives from 54 nations assembled at the then Stevens Hotel to attend the International Civil Aviation Conference. Over a five-week period, attendees hammered out an agreement and on Dec. 7, 1944, signed the Convention on International Civil Aviation, more commonly known as the “Chicago Convention.” This landmark agreement would in fact set the stage for the development of modern air commerce, outlining the “Five Freedoms of the Air,” and establishing what would eventually become the International Civil Aviation Organization. Nearly 79 years later, as contemporary air safety advocates recently gathered in that very same ballroom to discuss the future of air travel, it’s only natural to contemplate how far aviation has progressed in that time and what challenges still lie ahead.

Dear Readers, After receiving valuable feedback on my recent post about the Concorde, I want to apologise to anyone who may have been offended. After careful consideration, I have decided to remove the post, as I believe it is in the best interest of all readers. My aim has always been to provide a balanced perspective on aviation history, recognising both the groundbreaking achievements and the tragic lessons that have shaped the industry. Reflecting on the past is crucial as we strive together towards a brighter future. The narrative below delves into why acknowledging history is vital. A Journey Through History, Tragedy, and Triumph Aviation, marked by innovation and bravery, has continuously pushed the limits of possibility. As we look back at the evolution of flight, it is essential to not only celebrate the successes but also remember the setbacks that have shaped today's aviation landscape. The Dawn of Flight In 1903, the Wright brothers achieved the first sustained flight of a powered aircraft, setting off a century of advancements in aviation technology. From World War I biplanes to modern jet aircraft, each era brought significant progress in speed, efficiency, and safety. The Jet Age and Commercial Aviation The 1950s ushered in the Jet Age, revolutionising global air travel with commercial jetliners like the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8. While making travel faster and more accessible, this era also introduced new challenges in managing the complexities of jet-powered flight. Learning from Tragedy Despite its advancements, aviation has faced dark moments that have led to improved safety standards. Tragic incidents such as the Hindenburg Disaster in 1937, the Tenerife Airport Disaster in 1977, and the Air France Flight 4590 crash in 2000 have been pivotal in enhancing safety protocols and driving technological advancements. Each tragedy, though heart-wrenching, has prompted the industry to reassess, innovate, and reinforce its commitment to safety. Let us continue to honour the past, learn from it, and steer the future of aviation towards even greater achievements, guided by the lessons we have learned along the way.

This article from Sky Combat Ace is a great overview of why it's important to recognize the accomplishments we've made: https://bit.ly/3soshrk

✈️ It's #NationalAviationHistoryMonth! Jacksonville and the state of Florida were central in aviation advances even before the Wright Brothers took flight. Beginning with balloon flights and advancing to “modern” metal airliners in little more than a half century, the developing aviation industry embraced Florida – and Jacksonville often led the way. The area’s hard, wide beaches and its flat terrain provided a natural setting for the early days of aviation experiments and achievement. The glorious St. Johns River winding through the city was a sparkling welcome mat of wide-open space and occasional soft landings. Area climate offered blissfully temperate days year-round with rare cold snaps to challenge plane engines. Further, snow and sleet weren’t issues in balmy Jacksonville. And, a real bonus, as early aviators attempted more endurance and distance records the East Coast was the logical point of departure or return. The JAX Aviation Archives Exhibit includes two phenomenal phases; Phase 1 - the birth of flight to World War II and Phase 2 – the post war era through the present. Visit the area’s aviation archives, temporarily relocated to the north and south ends of JAX Ticketing, through the 2023 holiday season. Information contributed by JAA Arts & Culture Program Manager, Jen Cook. Historical information provided by the Jacksonville Historical Society.

A number of regional and local airports on the Colorado front range are under threat from homeowners who moved in next to the airports only to find out there is airplanes making noise flying in and out of them. Their end goal is to have the airports closed. Sadly there’s little accountability on their behalf for choosing to buy where they did. Even the city was warned to NOT build homes there. These airports pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the local economy as well as train the next generation of pilots. Low estimates is that there will be a shortage of pilots over the coming decade which will require at least a quarter of a million new pilots. They must train somewhere and without them, the future of air travel could really impact the future of our ability to travel and consumer goods in this country.

Last night, I attended the Colorado Aviation Community Noise Abatement Listening Session at the Superior Community Center, featuring Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser. I had hoped to both gain insight into the perspectives of residents living near airports as well as advocate as a pilot for the aviation community. Unfortunately, the setting wasn't conducive to open conversation. At the end of the meeting, a voice called out, "How many pilots are here?" There were many of us, but regrettably, only a few pilots were allowed to speak and those who did were cussed at and booed. The event was both chaotic and disappointing, doing little to advance the dialogue.

Flying into Oshkosh, WI for EAA AirVenture is a “challenging endeavor,” to say the least, due to the extremely high traffic density — making it the busiest airport in the world for the week. The EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2024 Notice, previously known as Oshkosh NOTAMS, is essential reading for all pilots to ensure a safe arrival and departure during the 71st fly-in convention, scheduled from July 22nd through 29th . This 32 page read provides comprehensive details on procedures and policies, updated based on pilot feedback and FAA recommendations, crucial for navigating the airspace that will see more than 10,000 aircraft and hundreds of thousands of attendees. Here are the highlights you need to be aware of: changes to the FISK holding procedure, new TFRs in Milwaukee airspace due to the Republican National Convention and specified transition points such as Endeavor Bridge, Puckaway Lake and Green Lake to manage congestion. The Notice is effective from Noon CDT on July 18th through Noon CDT on July 29th, providing tailored procedures for various aircraft types. As emphasized by Sean Elliott, EAA’s vice president of advocacy and safety, thorough preparation and understanding of these procedures are vital for a safe and successful journey to and from AirVenture, where Wittman Regional Airport is expected to handle up to 148 takeoffs and landings per hour.
