Repost from @bcavinst • Today in Black history we celebrate the achievements of Charles Alfred Anderson, often regarded as the “Father of Black Aviation”. Anderson taught himself how to fly, and would later train the first Black Air Force combat pilots as head of the Tuskegee Institute’s Civilian Pilot Training Program, a federal program that would pave the way for attaining equal rights for African-American pilots that would also spawn the first all-Black military combat group infamously known as the “Tuskegee Airmen”, whose red-tailed aircraft escorted U.S. bombers over Europe in WWII, and who never lost an aircraft. In fact, their exemplary combat record played a major role in reversing the segregation laws that had divided the U.S. Armed Forces. The years following WWII opened a new chapter for former African-American military pilots and newcomers alike, as they branched out into commercial aviation and beyond. . . . . #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #blm #blackaviationprofessionals #blackpilots #blackaviationmechanics #aviationmaintenance #amt #aviation #pilot #atc #airtraffic #airtrafficcontrol #avionics @browardcollege @bcsouthcampus @honorsatbc @ignitemmi (at Broward College South Campus) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLZsbd_Lp8y/?igshid=11bkl2c8jahnr

#BHM at #BCSouth Repost from @bcavinst • Today in Black History, we celebrate one of our own - Captain Barrington Irving who attended Broward College! Captain Irving is the first African American to fly solo around the world and, at the time, was the youngest person to complete the feat. He made his flight at the age of 23. Irving was born in Jamaica in 1983. When Irving was 6, his family relocated to Miami where his parents operated a bookstore where Irving worked when he was not in school. Around the age of 15, he began to develop an interest in aviation. A customer at his parents’ bookstore was a United Airlines pilot and invited him to visit the airport and tour a Boeing 777 . The tour was a turning point in his life, which quickly became focused on learning to fly. He graduated Miami Northwestern Senior High School in 2002. He turned down football scholarships and instead accepted a Florida Bright Future Scholarship, which helped him to pay for community college classes, including at Broward College! He is most famous for his solo circumnavigation of the planet. Starting in 2003, Irving began obtaining support for his round-the-world attempt, ultimately having Columbia Aircraft put together a Columbia 400 single-engine airplane, called the Inspiration, out of donated parts. With only 600 hours of flying experience, he set off from Miami on March 23, 2007 for his flight. After stopping in Europe and Asia, Irving returned to Miami on June 27. In 2005, Irving founded the non-profit Experience Aviation, to educate and inspire youth about aviation-related careers. Experience Aviation received federally-funded grant money that enabled it to create education programs, give students aircraft tours and install flight simulators for student use. . . . . #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #blm #blackaviationprofessionals #blackpilots #blackaviationmechanics #aviationmaintenance #amt #aviation #pilot #atc #airtraffic #airtrafficcontrol #avionics @browardcollege @bcsouthcampus @honorsatbc @bchuman @ignitemmi (at Broward College South Campus) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLrZVNKrzqV/?igshid=mjuy99egjqvv

#BHM at #BCSouth Repost from @bcavinst • From National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution Katherine Johnson’s story ignited the imagination of a generation who saw, many for the first time, someone who looked like them reflected in the earliest days of the Space Race. The story in Hidden Figures picked up with Katherine already at NASA, working against prejudices and obstacles as both a woman and an African American in a time when our society was still sharply segregated. But Katherine was extraordinary well before she began calculating orbital paths. Born in West Virginia, in 1918, she was fascinated by numbers from a very young age, and by the time she was ten, Katherine was already a freshman in high school. Consider that this was in the era of Jim Crow, when most schools for African Americans ended at 8th grade. She graduated college at 18. After time as a teacher and stay-at-home mom, she went to work for the NACA—the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, which later became NASA—calculating results from the famous wind tunnel at Langley Research Center. Katherine excelled as a “human computer,” and the flights of the first Americans in space relied on her calculations. Even when NASA turned to electronic computers to tabulate trajectories, John Glenn now-famously asked that Katherine personally recheck the calculations on his flight before climbing aboard Friendship 7. Katherine, and countless unsung heroes just like her, carried the nation’s space program forward, despite pervasive opposition at all levels of society. Katherine went where her skills were needed—even if she wasn’t invited. And in that quiet tenacity, she forged a legacy that will inform and inspire generations looking for their own space in history. . . . . #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #blm #blackaviationprofessionals #blackpilots #blackaviationmechanics #aviationmaintenance #amt #aviation #pilot #atc #airtraffic #airtrafficcontrol #avionics @browardcollege @bcsouthcampus @honorsatbc @ignitemmi (at Broward College South Campus) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLmVdwJLq2x/?igshid=l6d2s6yc61lx

Our Aviation Institute sharing important people in aviation history for #BHM Thanks 🙏🏽 ✈️ @bcavinst • Today in Black History we celebrate Patricia Cowings. A research psychologist in the Biomedical Division of Ames Research Center, Patricia Cowings investigated the psycho-physiological and biological problems experienced by astronauts in space in the early 1980s. Better known as space-sickness, this is a real problem for many astronauts. Cowings' tests induced sickness so she could lean how to combat the effects. Because astronaut training time is precious, she had to come up with a program that would take astronauts no longer than six hours to learn to control the sickness. Cowings designed a program of 12 half-hour sessions combing training with bio-feedback. During training, she teaches a subject to mentally evoke a sensation, like relaxation of muscles, to bring about desired physiological changes such as increased skin temperature or relaxed muscles. Cowings' brand of biofeedback involves having to control as many as 26 physiological functions related to motion sickness. These include such things as heart rate, rate of respiration and the flow of blood to the hands. Subjects learn to regulate these autonomic functions by watching them as they are displayed on an oscilloscope. . . . . #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #blm #blackaviationprofessionals #blackpilots #blackaviationmechanics #aviationmaintenance #amt #aviation #pilot #atc #airtraffic #airtrafficcontrol #avionics @browardcollege @bcsouthcampus @honorsatbc @bchuman @ignitemmi (at Broward College South Campus) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLhrrV2rrlU/?igshid=hi43dccyecw2

#BHM at #BCSouth Repost from @bcavinst • Today in Black History, we celebrate the accomplishments of Cornelius Robinson Coffey, the first African American to establish an aeronautical school in the United States. His school was also the only aviation program not affiliated with a university or college to become part of the Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPTP). Coffey was born in Newport (Jackson County) on September 6, 1903, to Henry Coffey and Ida Wright Coffey. In 1916, Coffey had his first experience riding in an aircraft and was convinced that aviation was his calling. In 1938, Coffey established his own aeronautics school. Coffey was a recipient of the Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and, in 1980, was the first African American to have an aerial navigation intersection named after him by the FAA. The "CO FEY Fix"-only five letters are allowed-is a waypoint located on the VICTOR 7 airway over Lake Calumet that provides electronic course guidance to Chicago Midway Airport Runway 31 Left. He also designed a carburetor heater that prevented icing and thus allowed airplanes to fly in all kinds of weather. Devices similar to his are still in use on aircraft today. Coffey became the first president of the National Airmen's Association of America and flew until he was eighty-nine years old. He died on March 2, 1994, in Chicago. . . . . #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #blm #blackaviationprofessionals #blackpilots #blackaviationmechanics #aviationmaintenance #amt #aviation #pilot @browardcollege @bcsouthcampus @honorsatbc @ignitemmi (at Broward College South Campus) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLKCaB0LcX2/?igshid=ckf0txkx0sk1

Repost from @bcsouthcampus • Excellent point made by @bcavinst ✈️ we celebrate everyday and beyond February Repost from @bcavinst • It's the weekend, but we don't take days off from celebrating the amazing achievements of Black aviation professionals during Black History Month! Today we honor Captain Bobby Charles Wilks, who was the first African American Coast Guard aviator and the first African American to reach the rank of Coast Guard captain. Captain Wilks was the first African American to command a Coast Guard air station and involved in a number of air-sea rescues around the world. He received the Air Medal for his actions on the night of December 9, 1971, while piloting his helicopter over the Pacific Ocean. Captain Wilks began his Coast Guard career in 1956. After receiving his commission at Officer Candidate School he was accepted to flight school and subsequently served in San Francisco, the Philippines, Brooklyn, N.Y., and other duty stations. #blackhistorymonth #blackaviationprofessionals #blm #blackpilots #pilot #aviation #avionics #aviationmaintenance @browardcollege @bcsouthcampus @honorsatbc @thebcobserver @ignitemmi @bcsouthahcd @bcsouthsl @sbshscentral @bcsbshs @broward_up @seahawksflyingteam (at Broward College Miramar West Center #Mwc) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK9PAkCLIKX/?igshid=qxur7luoizw0

#BHM @ #BCSouth Repost from @bcavinst • On this fourth day of Black History Month, we celebrate Captain David Harris. Captain Harris was the first African American Airline commercial pilot hired by a major US airline and was the first to be promoted to Captain. He was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, and graduated with a B.S. degree in education from Ohio State University. Captain Harris was a member of the Air Force and flew the B-47 in the Strategic Air Command and B-52 Bombers. Two days after he left the Air Force, he was hired by American Airlines and flew for the airline for 30 years, retiring in December of 1994. #blackhistorymonth #blackpilots #blm #aviation #blackaviationprofessionals #blackaviation #pilot @browardcollege @bcsouthcampus @honorsatbc @bchuman @ignitebcmmi (at Broward College South Campus) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK3mRAdLyzZ/?igshid=13yland83mma9
