National Aviation Day, celebrated on August 19th, is a special day in the United States to remember the invention of airplanes and the progress in flying. The day was chosen because it's the birthday of Orville Wright, one of the Wright brothers who built and flew the first successful airplane. On this day, people learn about airplanes and their history, recognizing how flying has changed the way we travel and connect with the world. Schools and museums might have events to teach kids about pilots, engineers, and how planes work, inspiring a new generation of aviation enthusiasts.
How to celebrate National Aviation Day?
Start the day by making paper airplanes and having a contest to see which one flies the farthest. Watch cool videos about airplanes and how they fly. Visit a local airport if possible to see real planes taking off and landing. You can also visit an online virtual airplane tour. Eat airplane-themed snacks, like cupcakes shaped like planes. Draw pictures of your favorite aircraft and hang them on the wall. Pretend you're a pilot and fly around the yard, playing with friends. End the day by reading a fun book or watching a movie about planes with your family.
