Mike Armour, Director of Aviation for Kansas
"Kansas has a long and proud aviation history and legacy that takes us back to 1920 when the Laird Swallow, the first commercially produced airplane in the U.S., made it's first flight over Wichita, Kansas. Since that event, Kansas has evolved into the Air Capital of the World, home to aviation industry leaders known worldwide. We welcome "Wings Over Kansas" as it celebrates Kansas Aviation and our legacy and serves to be a cheerleader to promote the future growth of Kansas Aviation."
