The Parade of Flight is the first of several events happening nationwide celebrating 100 years since inventor and aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss taxied his "hydroaeroplane" to the cruiser USS Pennsylvania (ACR 4), anchored in San Diego Bay, Feb. 17, 1911.

It was hoisted aboard the ship, lowered back into the water, and then Curtiss returned to North Island. This historic event, more than any other, prompted the secretary of the Navy's decision to purchase the Navy's first aircraft, the A-1 Triad.
