The aviator prepared for his first flight across the Pacific by checking his engine and fueling his aircraft.

As an aviator, Bessie Coleman was the first African American woman to hold a pilot’s license.

Because he was afraid of heights, the aviator had to psych himself up every time he got ready to fly his plane.

Lost on one of her flights, aviator Amelia Earhart was the first female aviator to fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone.

With no aviator to man the control centers, the launch will have to be postponed for another day.
