It’s National Aviation Day! A day intended to acknowledge those who helped pioneer aviation in the U.S., most notably the Wright Brother’s, and was established in 1939 by Franklin D. Roosevelt on August 19, Orville Wright’s birthday. There’s no telling how Wilber Wright felt about that, but I move to celebrate “Spited Sibling” day on his birthday, April 16, from now on.
Until then, get up and away with our latest news quiz!
