FACT: Today is National Aviation Day in honor of Orville Wright's birthday. CONTROVERSY: There has been some debate on which state is worthy of the title "First in Flight". For those who call North Carolina home (such as myself) there may be some bias since the title is due to the legendary 12 second flight on Dec. 17, 1903, at Kill Devil Hills near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. However, Wilbur and Orville spent most of their lives in Dayton, Ohio, where their outlandish idea of human flight were manifested into reality. It was there where those dreams turned to sweat that brought us to where we are today. QUESTION: I'm curious to hear from those who have a passion for aviation - past, present, and future - What state do you believe is most deserving of the title "First in Flight"? Today many may take these amazing machines for granted thanks to the wild ideas of those Wright Brothers. What also may be taken for granted is the crew members needed to operate these jets safely everyday. Do not settle for having "enough to get by" in your flight department. Let your crew get the support and rest they need and reach out to myself and the team at In-Flight Crew Connections should you ever need additional support in any of your business aviation personnel needs. Happy National Aviation Day.

History of Commercial Airplanes! The history of commercial airplanes is filled with remarkable milestones, from the first flight by Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903 to the development of the first jet airliner by the 1950s. We've witnessed groundbreaking achievements like the first scheduled flight in 1914, Charles Lindbergh's solo transatlantic flight in 1927, and the introduction of the Boeing 707 in 1957. Not to forget notable events such as Amelia Earhart's solo Atlantic flight in 1932 and the Concorde's first commercial flight in 1970. Fast forward to the present, with the Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 revolutionizing air travel in the 2000s. As we look ahead, exciting prospects await, with the return of mainstream supersonic travel on the horizon. The future promises new milestones and innovations as we continue to push the boundaries of aviation. #AviationHistory #Innovation #FutureOfFlight
