On August 19, 2015, thousands of people celebrated National Aviation Day by “spreading their wings” and learning about how NASA is “with you when you fly.”
This image features a few favorites (clockwise from upper left): from “@Astro_Wheels,” astronaut Douglas Wheelock sends a message to “#spreadyourwings and fly!”; from “aamodsams” the NASA FIRST 2015 Influence Leaders at NASA Langley Research center; from “mrgains77,” a pic of “my girl” in front of a turboprop aircraft; from “dancerevies1,” a ballerina taking air; from “sosoru” in Germany this picture and a comment about how “amazing and magical [it is] how aviation started and developed”; from Lori Anding King, a family celebration of flight; from NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center, mechanic Jeremy Clay and the Ikhana unmanned aerial vehicle; and from NASA Glenn Research Center, engineers in the Propulsion Systems Lab.
