Planned in 2013 , International Federation of Air Line Pilot’s Association (IFALPA) took step to found a day to celebrate all the pilots in the world.
They decided the date 26th of April, the day Turkish 'Fesa Evrensev' - a prominent figure in aviation history took to the sky for the first time, could be the date for celebration.
Next year, on 26th April 2014, 'World Pilots Day' was celebrated for the first time , commemorating Fesa Evrensev's first flight which took place in 1912.
Today , while celebrating the 9th Edition of that , let's take a look on the activity among members in the Aviation Fraternity !
Happy World Pilots' Day ????✈️????✈️????✈️
