Every year on August 19, Orville Wright’s birthday, we celebrate National Aviation Day. We take a minute to celebrate the fact that journeys that used to take weeks now take hours, that we fly through the air at 500 miles and hour, that we do so while being able to watch TV or use WiFi, and that we do so safely.

We all love to complain about flying, about going to the airport, and about how expensive it is. But let’s consider for moment the words of Louis CK (which are decidedly not safe for enjoyment in an office setting).

Happy National Aviation Day!
