H. Res. 1284

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                          May 12, 2010.
Whereas, since the birth of flight, aviation has had a tremendous impact on the 
        imagination, innovation, and economy of the United States;
Whereas many of the Nation's heroes have been pilots, including the Wright 
        brothers, Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, Charles ``Chuck'' Yeager, 
        the Nation's astronauts and military aviators, and the flight crew of US 
        Airways Flight 1549, among others;
Whereas every one of these individuals had to learn to fly before they could 
        achieve their greatness;
Whereas there are approximately 600,000 pilots and approximately 230,000 
        commercial and general aviation airplanes in the United States;
Whereas flight brings joy, inspiration, and a sense of accomplishment to those 
        who fly for recreation, pleasure, and work;
Whereas flight allows the movement of people and commodities across the Nation 
        and around the world quickly and efficiently; and
Whereas the third Saturday in May is an appropriate day to observe International 
        Learn to Fly Day: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of National Learn to Fly Day; and
            (2) recognizes the contributions of flight instructors, flight 
        schools, aviation groups, and industry in promoting and teaching the 
        Nation's next generation of pilots.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
