In addition, during the length of the reunion set high above Dinner Key at the host hotel Courtyard Marriott will be exciting Pan Am theme inspired authors & speakers; a private viewing of Dinner Key Terminal, now Miami City Hall is also on the schedule.
On July 20, 1911, all of Miami gathered to witness an extraordinary event. Hired by Mayor Everest Sewell, aviator Howard Gill climbed into the cockpit of a wood and cloth-winged biplane furnished by the Wright Brothers and flew it up, up and away into the blue skies above the Miami Golf Links - performing the very first flight in the area. The rest, as they say, is history.
One of the main attractions of the reunion is the exhibit Aviation in Miami: The First 100 Years at HistoryMiami in downtown Miami. It goes behind-the-scenes to explore the extensive engagement Greater Miami and its residents have had with the industry since this historic first flight. The exhibition addresses the evolving concerns of the aviation industry throughout the twentieth century and how they were tackled by developers, promoters, pilots and the hundreds of thousands of Miamians who were involved in the field.
On view are artifacts from famous aviators such as Glen Curtiss, Charles Lindbergh, Eddie Rickenbacker & Amelia Earhart and airlines such as Pan American World Airways and Eastern Airlines...
