Hello everyone, Benson here. How is everyone’s August going so far? I hope it’s been a fun start to your August. Continuing thematically (loosely, I might add) from last week, it seems that August 19th is known as National Aviation Day. National Aviation Day celebrates the wonders of flight and also commemorates the birthday of Orville Wright, one of the pioneers of aviation. I think this day would provide an interesting opportunity to celebrate and reflect on the history, technology, and impact of air travel on our world.

Are there any popular air and space museums to visit here in Japan? Many aviation museums showcase historical aircraft, space exploration exhibits, and interactive displays, which would be interesting to both see and touch. You can learn about the evolution of flight technology, but I wonder how aviation museums here would be different from those around the world.

I also think visiting airports would be an interesting way to spend the day. Many airports offer tours and observation areas where you can witness the hustle and bustle of airplanes taking off and landing. It's a fascinating way to see the behind-the-scenes operations of air travel and appreciate the complex logistics involved. Of course, I’m from Toronto, where the airport is about as exciting as a piece of bread, but I’m sure there are fascinating airports around the world.

There are also numerous documentaries which explore the history of aviation, from early attempts at flight to the development of modern jetliners. These films offer insightful perspectives and stories about the pioneers, engineers, and pilots who have shaped the world of air travel. National Aviation Day allows us to appreciate the remarkable advancements in flight technology and the impact it has had on our world. Explore the resources and activities available, and celebrate the awe-inspiring journey of human flight. Until next time, take care everyone.
