On September 14, 1939, the VS-300, the world’s first practical helicopter, made its brief maiden flight in Stratford, Connecticut. Designed by Igor Sikorsky, it was the first to feature a single main rotor and tail rotor. Sikorsky himself made the test flight, which lasted only a few seconds. #aviation #firstflight #helicopter #avgeek #aviationhistory

Hear hear to the Airbus Beluga! Today marks 30 years since this oversized cargo aircraft first took flight. We had the chance to see this incredible aircraft at AirVenture 2003, where this flying whale beached itself on Aeroshell Square. Did you happen to catch this whale of a tale in action? We hope to see this aircraft in Oshkosh again soon! ?? Craig Vander Kolk #FirstFlight #AviationLovers #Oshkosh

Happy 80th First Flight anniversary to the Fairchild C-82 Packet, a twin-boom cargo aircraft! Though it was relatively unsuccessful, its design would be further developed into the C-119 Flying Boxcar, which saw considerable use during the Korean War. #MilitaryHistory #Warbird #Aviation
