South Dakota's First Century of Flight
The first aircraft heavier than air took to the skies in South Dakota in 1911.Ā Ā Since that time, pilots, mechanics, and dreamers have used aviation in innovative ways to shrink the large distances between the prairies and the mountains of the state.Ā Ā The start of the U.S. Space Program began at the Stratobowl in the 1930s and evolved into today's modern hot air balloons.Ā Ā People have used aircraft, not only for transportation, but also for controlling varmints, from grasshoppers to coyotes. Firefighters routinely use aircraft to put out forest fires, and many a tourist has seen Mount Rushmore from a helicopter. South Dakota has also served the military since World War II with the major bombers of the U.S. Air Force's arsenal.Ā Ā Perhaps best of all, South Dakotans enjoy flying for pure enjoyment.
