In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued the first presidential proclamation designating August 19, Orville Wright’s birthday, as a day in which citizens are encouraged to participate in activities that promote interest in aviation. The Wright brothers are widely regarded as the inventors of the airplane.
Mail Delivery – on May 14, 1918, the first airmail flight left Belmont Park, Long Island, for Philadelphia. Over the next few years, airmail service was expanded to include several cities on the EstCoast.
Air Passenger Service – In 1930, the first air passenger service was inaugurated between New York and Los Angeles.
First Trans-Atlantic Flight – On May 20, 1927, Charles Lindbergh became the first pilot to cross the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Paris. His flight took 33 hours and 29 minutes!
The 247 - In the early 1930’s, the first modern passenger airliner, the Boeing 247, took to the skies. This sleek new aircraft could carry 10 passengers and fly at 155 MPH, making air travel more efficient and assessable than everbefore.
Although flying on airplanes seems to be a regular part of many people’s lives today, only about 5% of the world’s population have flown on an airplane.
The Boeing 747 is among the most well-known commercial airliner. This famous aircraft is made up of about six million parts!

The 747 - In 1969, Pan Am acquired the Boeing 747 and became the first airline to fly this aircraft in commercial service. The 747 could accommodate up to 450 passengers, making it ideal for longdistance travel.

Carlos Morales Perez – LAX
When Carlos finishes his section, he always finds someone to help without being asked to do so. Carlos also saw that the scissor lift was running a little behind while working on a United Aircraft and took it upon himself to clean the back wings from the ground in order to keep us on track for the night. Carlos is a key asset to our team!

Jose has volunteered for days in a row to go up on the scissor lift. This has been a great help to the team, and I don’t think we could have gotten these planes done without him stepping up. He never complains and has a positive attitude!

For the last two weeks, Jose has finished his section and then volunteered to help on the lift while cleaning Cathay Pacific Planes. He also went to help the other crew to finish their United Plane as well as helping the other crew with one side of the plane on the scissor lift. Jose is a very hard worker and not afraid to hop in and help whenever needed!
