Celebrating National Aviation Week

National Aviation Week, celebrated August 19-25, is a yearly observance to celebrate the history and development of aviation. American innovation came to flight in December 1903, when Orville and Wilbur Wright successfully flew a powered aircraft four times, with the longest flight that day being 852 feet!

The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) Bookstore offers the following popular aviation publications.

The FAA Safety Briefing magazine provides updates on major Federal Aviation Administration rule changes and proposed changes and refresher information on flight rules, maintenance airworthiness, avionics, accident analysis, and other topics. It is a must-have for pilots, air traffic controllers, airplane maintenance personnel, and anyone involved in ensuring safe flying.

Naval Aviation News is the flagship publication of naval aviation. It is a military magazine that presents articles of interest on all phases of United States Navy and Marine Corps air activity.

Here are some ways to celebrate National Aviation Week:

• Learn about aviation history: Discover the fascinating stories of the Wright brothers, Amelia Earhart, and other aviation pioneers.
• Explore local aviation museums: Visit museums and exhibits that showcase the evolution of flight and the technology behind it.
• Attend aviation events: Participate in air shows, fly-ins, and other events that celebrate the joy of flying.
• Support aviation education: Encourage young people to explore careers in aviation and aerospace.

Let's take this opportunity to appreciate aviation's incredible achievements and the positive impact it has had on our lives.
