The U.S. Centennial of Flight Commission was established in 1999 to encourage the broadest national and international participation in the celebration of 100 years of powered flight, while publicizing and encouraging programs, projects and events that would involve, educate and enrich the maximum number of people. The U.S. Centennial of Flight Commission is proud of the events that have taken place, including: the Festival of Flight in Fayetteville, Space Day, Inventing Flight in Dayton, GE Presents Centennial of Flight at Rockefeller Center, EAA's Countdown to Kitty Hawk tour, the opening of The Wright Brothers and the Invention of the Aerial Age at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, the National Air Tours, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics' Evolution of Flight campaign, Wolf Trap's Face of America, the opening of the Steven F. Udvar Hazy Center at Dulles International Airport, the First Flight Centennial Celebration in North Carolina and the countless others that have occurred across the country and around the globe. Most importantly, the U.S. Centennial of Flight Commission is proud of the educational legacy that has been created.
