Aviation Nation 2025 memorializes: Heroes in Aviation
Heroes come in all shape and sizes, often with a “superpower” they use to get out of difficult situations or to save someone. From all walks of life, our Heroes in Aviation bring their “superpowers” of curiosity, innovation, courage and determination. These “superpowers” enabled humans to achieve flight from the centuries old vision that we could fly just like the hawk or the eagle on the winds. From Leonardo da Vinci’s flying machine sketches to the Wright Brothers successful first flight, to Billy Mitchell’s passion that “America must become an Aviation Nation,” to our exploration of space; our deep seeded pursuit to go faster, farther and higher is grounded in our Heroes in Aviation “superpowers”. From concepts inspired by curiosity and innovation, we used courage and determination to ride a rocket ship into space and returning safely to earth. Our Heroes in Aviation built on the previous hero’s triumphs and learned from their failures. Our inspiration, dreams and pursuit of aviation excellence has constantly changed because our Heroes in Aviation used their “superpowers” to advance humanity, even in how we fight our wars. Aviation Nation 2025 is a testament to these heroes and the opportunities taken.
We invite you to explore your curiosity through the exhilarating air demonstrations and the amazing interactive ground activities; to include Dream BIG – Inspire Festival. We can’t wait to see the innovation, courage, and determination that comes from your “superpowers!” The mission of Aviation Nation 2025 is to provide each guest, regardless of what walk of life or age, with a positive and breathe taking experience.
