HONORING A PIONEER:
JAMES DOOLITTLE
In the early 1920s, right here in Boonton Township, NJ, aviation pioneer James Doolittle practiced and conducted groundbreaking research at the Aircraft Radio Corporation airstrip-developing and testing the first "blind flying" instruments and techniques.
Through countless practice flights at this airstrip, Doolittle refined his methods and skills, leading to his historic achievement on September 23, 1929—completing the world's first all-instrument flight, paving the way for modern aviation and saving countless lives.
WE HONOR HIS VISION. WE CELEBRATE HIS LEGACY.
COME OUT AND CELEBRATE
