Every year on April 26th, aviation enthusiasts, professionals, and travelers around the world unite to celebrate International Pilot’s Day. Today is the day! This special occasion pays tribute to the individuals who have dedicated their lives to the skies, from the early pioneers who paved the way for modern aviation to the skilled pilots who navigate the world’s aircraft today.
Today is a travel day today for me too. I’m boarding a bus that will drive me 10-hours through a night of twists and turns for nearly 300 miles. After a journey like that, if you don’t have an appreciation for the men and women who can turn that journey into a smooth 90-minute flight, I don’t know what will.
