Aviation Challenge Anniversary?

A place for ACers to come and hang out after a hard day of escape-and-evade or survival training.

Aviation Challenge Anniversary?

Post by Spyder »

So umm, do we get to celebrate a Aviation Challenge Anniversary at some point in time or is that only reserved for Space camp? Or do we just need to wait for the Bicentinneal of flight?

AC started in 1990, so it's technically going to be 17 this year. As to whether or not there will be an anniversary, I can't say. It would be nice, but I have my own personal doubts about it.

Did they do anything in 2000 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of AC?

AC deserves just as much respect as SC. (Some of you say it deserves more, but I cannot say that since I have never been to AC and cannot compare the two.)

There was no fanfare for AC's tenth anniversary.

Go figure, lavish all the love on the Speenies. The only half way celebration I remember was the 100th Anniversary of flight, but I mean, SC probably celebrated that as much if not more than we did.

LAME, I call for a 17th Anniversary celebration this year

Yes, see Space Camp, this is me frowning at you.

Sandrat, why does no one love us?!?! :cry:

I don't think it's a matter of love, especially now that the programs are tied so much together. Whether it be a matter of respect, or some shyness about the original intent of the subject matter with a nation that's been at war for several years now, I can't say.

AC is a special place for those of us that have been there, and nothing will change that.
