Brazil aviation and Air Force commemorations
Overview
Brazil is observing several aviation milestones, including Aviator Day and the 120th anniversary of Alberto Santos Dumont’s historic 14-Bis flight. The 1906 flight in Paris is recognized as the first successful takeoff of a heavier-than-air aircraft using its own power.
In the Brazilian Senate, a special session was held to honor these milestones and the Brazilian Air Force (FAB). Senator Marcos Pontes highlighted the 14-Bis as a self-propelled aircraft that “changed the world,” while Air Force Commander Marcelo Kanitz Damasceno praised Santos Dumont as a symbol of national creativity.
Regional celebrations included ceremonies at the Second Integrated Air Defense and Air Traffic Control Center (Cindacta II) in Curitiba, where Vice-Governor Darci Piana noted the facility’s role in managing up to 40% of Brazilian airspace. Additionally, FUMEC University scheduled a lecture cycle regarding the pilot profession, covering commercial, rotary-wing, and military aviation careers.
