For generations now, we have collectively turned our eyes to the skies for flying machines. Whether it was in awe of the first powered flights, in fear of the first bombing raids, or in wonder as we powered our way to the moon, each recent generation has a deep well of aviation legend. As we stand on the shoulders of these warriors of aviation past, our diverse group of pilots, photographers, writers and mechanics have come together under the Full Disc Aviation banner to bring our passion for aviation to you. We strive to fly, maintain, and capture the brilliant living history of these magnificent birds to inspire the future generations of fliers, but to also memorialize and remember the sacrifices of those pioneering greats before us.
