Key Points
This is an update on my post published August 19, 2010:
Celebrated on the birthday of Orville Wright, the first pilot of a successful airplane flight, National Aviation Day is a day meant to encourage people to visit aviation history sites (many small airports feature small but cool museums!), read about aviation, watch videos about aviation and early flight, and so forth.
Learn about lift and other forces of flight…
…make a paper airplane or paper helicopter…
…and do other experiments about flight.
