HAWAII LOOKS TO 2010 AND OWN 100TH ANNIVERSARY
Amazingly, the first airplane flight in Hawaii was only seven years after the Wright Brothers first demonstrated aerodynamically controlled, powered flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. It was on December 31, 1910 that the fearless J. C."Bud" Mars took off, circled and landed his Curtis P18 biplane at the Moanalua Polo Field near Honolulu. 
The Hawaii Aviation Celebration was held December 13 and 14, 2003 at the former Barbers Point Naval Air Station, now Kalaeloa Airport near the west Oahu city of Kapolei. 

The Hawaii Aviation Celebration brought together for the first time many people from different community interests to recognize and support aviation. In seven years, December 2010, aviation leaders in Hawaii are looking forward to celebrating 100 years of flying in Hawaii.
