National Centennial Celebration of Flight Kicks Off
at the Smithsonian
The national Centennial Celebration
of Flight kicked off on December 17, 2002 with guests that included
everyone from astronauts Neil Armstrong and Senator John Glenn
to actor John Travolta. Other honored representatives included
Amy Kleppner, niece of Amelia
Earhart, and Erik Lindbergh,
grandson of Charles Lindbergh. The U.S. Centennial of Flight
Commission chose Travolta as master of ceremonies for the event,
which was held at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum.
It marked the beginning of a yearlong celebration honoring 100
years of powered flight. A complete listing of upcoming events
across the country can be found on the government's Web site,
www.centennialofflight.gov.
In light of this historical event, C.
Forbes Inc. and Smithsonian
Business Ventures have utilized
Amelia Earhart in a special collection of memorabilia. Earhart's
likeness will grace both commemorative coins and label pins
marked for the Centennial Anniversary of Flight. The items will
be available for purchase in early 2003, with retail values
that range from $7-$12.
