- Flying On Instruments
Instrument flying is a common occurrence today but it wasn’t always so. In 1929 James Doolittle, most famous for the WWII “Doolittle Raid”, became the first pilot to takeoff, fly, and land an aircraft based solely by reference to flight instruments with no outside visual views. He also helped develop the artificial horizon and directional [...] - Have A Great Memorial Day Weekend!
