Aviation Day
National Aviation Day is celebrated on 19 August. This day serves as an opportunity to reflect on the significance of flight and the advancements that have made it a common aspect of our lives. Although some of these scientific and technological developments have become so ingrained in our daily lives that we rarely stop to appreciate their revolutionary impact, it is important to take time to re-evaluate their significance with an open mind. Over the course of just a few generations, aviation has gone from a mere idea to a practical reality that inspires wonder no less than a trip on a Greyhound bus. This attitude towards the miracle of flight makes National Aviation Day an ideal opportunity for national reflection.
