National Aviation Day in the United States is on August 19, and while it will be hard for Avgeeks to celebrate together, there are ways to safely have fun. You can have a group flight in a flight sim, or a socially distanced spotting session, but DAB is holding their own special event.
Daytona Beach Airport, home of one of the world's most well known aeronautical universities, Embry-Riddle, will be holding a paper airplane challenge on August 19. The Floridian Airport will allow kids 18 and under to design and build their own aircraft, with the main building material being paper. Contests will be able to submit their aircraft at the airport between 9-11 A.M. on August 13-17. Pilots with the ERAU flight team will judge the contest.
Contestants will be able to win prizes based on the most accurate flight as well as the most creative aircraft design. Prizes include a tour of an Embry-Riddle aircraft as well as a behind the scenes tour of Daytona Beach Airport. The winner will be contacted through email and announced publicly on their Instagram, @flydab_.
