Mayor Proclaims December 17-24 as N.C. Aviation Week


Mayor Costi Kutteh proclaimed the week of December 17-24 as North Carolina Aviation Week at the December 5 City Council meeting. 

Kutteh stated that National Aviation Day and National Aviation Week are typically celebrated in August, but we prefer to celebrate in December as the first successful maiden flight was on December 17, 1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina by Wilbur & Orville Wright.

Airport Manager John Ferguson and Airport Commissioner David Bullins were on hand to accept the proclamation along with John Gorman and Joseph Wilbourne.
