Aviation Day is celebrated on the birthday of Orville Wright, August 19. Orville and his brother Wilbur were two American inventors credited to inventing the world’s the first successful airplane. They also had the first controlled, powered, and sustained heavier-than-air human flight. The Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls that made the fixed-wing powered flight possible.

You can also check on the Airline websites directly for specials like Southwest and Allegiant Air.

In our list of Aviation Day songs, you will find songs with the word airplane -or- plane in the song title.
