                               RESOLUTION


 
 Supporting the goals and ideals of National Learn to Fly Day, and for 
                            other purposes.

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 
        U.S. 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 currently more than 600,000 pilots and more than 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 and pleasure;
Whereas flight allows the movement of people and commodities across the Nation 
        and the world quickly and efficiently; and
Whereas the third Saturday in May is an appropriate day to observe National 
        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.
