Florida's contribution to aviation history cannot be
underestimated. Wings over Florida chronicles the story of flying
in the Sunshine State, from the early pioneers in gliders and
balloons, to the recent developments in the space program. The
story of Florida in flight is even older than its statehood, with
Colonel John Sherburne planning to use balloons as early as 1840 in
the Second Seminole War. Not only was the first scheduled passenger
airline (the St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line) begun in Florida,
but it is also home to the world's oldest international airline.
Many heroes and heroines of the air came from Florida. Even those
who were not Floridians by birth spent time flying in the ideal
conditions that Florida provided. Pioneers, such as Charles
Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, Peter Sones, and Jacqueline Cochran, all
took to the air over Florida.
