ABOUT WAC Starting in September, 2016 (Wichita Aviation's 100th Anniversary Month), the Wichita Aviation Centennial is a year-long, commemoration of the city's most spectacular and legendary major industry. The Centennial Committee organizes, conducts, and supports activities and projects that spread the knowledge, appreciation and understanding of Wichita aviation and its history. To commemorate this nearly-overlooked major milestone in Wichita progress, a group of Wichita historians and aviation experts (chiefly in the Wichita area), joined together, on relatively short notice, to produce the Wichita Aviation Centennial. But we can't do it alone. Your participation and support is needed to bring alive the past -- and illuminate the future -- of the high-tech industry that makes Wichita famous around the globe. Join the Centennial Boosters, participate in Centennial Events, and share the story of Wichita's leading role in the world's most dynamic industry. Opportunities for volunteers abound, and additional Centennial Committee members are being recruited. The Centennial depends upon community support. Please contribute to the cause.
