To reach a number of youngsters on First Flight Day, one might get in touch with a teacher and present a brief (15-20 minute) program and question and answer session about aviation.

We should all fly on First Flight Day if at all possible. For those of us that are just too strapped for money to be able to fly, we can still do something avaition related. I know I intend to. I don't know what all has been going on in other parts of the country related to First Flight Day, but in our corner of northern CA, hardly anything has been going on. I have been disappointed with PBS also. I usually like much of their programming, but I am surprised that they haven't done more on aviation this year. Yes they have done a few shows, but in my opinion not enough. I am somewhat disappointed with the US Post Office. I think they should have published a whole set of stamps on avaiton this year, instead of just the one on the Wrights. The Wrights' stamp is attractive, but it's not even a 4 color process stamp. (I have many years in the printing industry, so of course I notice such things.) Doesn't one of the most important events in human history and achievement at least rate a 4-color stamp? I would hope so. Well, I know I'm going to make the most of that day, even though it's a work day for me.
