Aviation History Month isn’t just about sharing the stories of the past, it’s about inspiring future pilots of everything that’s possible. From Da Vinci’s first concepts of a flying machine (also known as the "ornithopter") in the 1500s to the Wright Brother’s glider being successfully flown in the 1900s, we have always been inspired to look to the skies. As we reflect on the history of aviation, we can’t forget to share the stories from Hangar One at former Lowry Air Force Base, where the Air & Space Museum is now located. From breaking ground to technical trainings and more, Hangar One has been central for so many aviators over the years. Follow along as we share stories from the past, present and future! #aviationmonth #wingsovertherockies #aviaiton #aviationdaily #pilot #denvermuseum
