National Aviation Day Passed Quietly from AVwebFlash Current Issue | It was National Aviation Day in the U.S. on Sunday, marking what would have been Orville Wright's 141st birthday. The day passed unnoticed in most places although it's been a nationally proclaimed special day since 1939, when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt deemed the nation's first pilot of a powered aircraft worthy of remembrance on his birthday. As national observances go, it's not a particularly significant one. At his discretion, the sitting president may order federal buildings to fly the flag and he might encourage people to take part in activities that bolster aviation. Wright Brothers Day is also observed Aug. 19 as is White Cane Safety Day and Carl Garner Federal Lands Cleanup Day. The First Flight Society held a full program of events Sunday to mark the day.

CoolPix: 'Golden Age' Antiques Meet The Modern Age At OSH12 from AirPigz by Martt | Maybe you don't think like I do, but when I see the shapes and colors of fabulous antique aircraft like these Waco biplanes and that Ryan PT-22, I feel passion and excitement.

There's something incredibly extraordinary about living everyday life surrounded by the magical world of aviation... especially when it's aircraft from the Golden Age!...
