National Aviation Day in the United States celebrates the history, innovation and social impact of flight. Established to honour aviation achievements, it is often connected with the legacy of the Wright brothers and the many people who advanced aircraft design, navigation, safety and exploration. The day invites people to learn how aviation changed travel, communication, defence, science and global connection.

Event suggestions:
• Building paper aircraft while learning about early aviation experiments
• Creating a timeline of aviation milestones and diverse aviation pioneers
• Hosting a discussion on how flight connects communities, trade and culture
