🇺🇸 A Day of Remembrance at Yanks Air Museum This 🇺🇸 A Day of Remembrance at Yanks Air Museum

This Friday, September 11, Yanks Air Museum will offer visitors a place to pause, reflect, and remember.

For those who choose to spend part of the day with us, we will be honoring the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the families forever changed, and the first responders, heroes, and everyday people who stepped forward to help others in the midst of unimaginable tragedy.

Throughout the day, a special video presentation in our Flight Center will share stories of courage, compassion, and selflessness from September 11. We will also ring a ceremonial bell—once in remembrance of those who lost their lives, and once in honor of the heroes and helpers who answered the call.

There is nothing to celebrate about this anniversary. Instead, we simply want our community to know that if you're looking for a place to spend the day reflecting on our nation's history and remembering those we lost, you are welcome to join us.

🕙 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

🇺🇸 Happy Labor Day from Yanks Air Museum! Today, 🇺🇸 Happy Labor Day from Yanks Air Museum!

Today, we recognize the generations of hardworking men and women whose skill, dedication, and determination have helped build our nation—including the countless pilots, mechanics, engineers, factory workers, ground crews, and innovators who have shaped more than a century of American aviation.

Behind every aircraft is a story not only of flight, but of the people whose hands built it, maintained it, and kept it in the air.

This Labor Day, we honor all those—past and present—whose hard work continues to move us forward.
📅 On This Day in Aviation History — September 5, 1 📅 On This Day in Aviation History — September 5, 1984

On this day in 1984, a new chapter in American spaceflight touched down on a California dry lakebed.

At 6:37 a.m. PDT, Space Shuttle Discovery landed at Edwards Air Force Base, successfully completing STS-41D—its very first mission into space.

Over six days, Discovery and its six-person crew circled Earth 97 times and traveled approximately 2.5 million miles. Along the way, they deployed three communications satellites and put an unusual piece of technology through its paces: a lightweight experimental solar array that unfurled to more than 100 feet in length from a remarkably compact container in the Shuttle's payload bay. The experiment tested lightweight, deployable solar-array technology envisioned for powering large future structures in orbit.

The mission also carried another piece of aviation and space history. Charles D. Walker became the first commercial payload specialist to fly aboard the Shuttle, operating a McDonnell Douglas biotechnology experiment during the mission.

And if some of STS-41D looks unusually cinematic in archival footage, there's a reason for that. The crew carried an IMAX camera into orbit and filmed satellite deployments, experiments, and life aboard Discovery. Some of that footage later appeared on enormous theater screens in the 1985 IMAX film The Dream Is Alive.

After six days, Commander Henry 'Hank' Hartsfield Jr. brought Discovery down on Runway 17 at Edwards, bringing Discovery's maiden voyage to a successful conclusion.

It turned out to be just the beginning.

Discovery ultimately completed 39 missions, more than any other Space Shuttle. During that remarkable career, it would deploy the Hubble Space Telescope, carry John Glenn back into orbit, and fly both of NASA's "Return to Flight" missions following the Challenger and Columbia tragedies.

But all 39 missions started with STS-41D—and on September 5, 1984, Discovery proved for the first time that it could make the journey to orbit and safely come home again. 🚀

Aviation Trivia: Discovery was NASA's third space-qualified orbiter to join the Shuttle fleet. Can you name the two orbiters that flew before it?
