🚀 On this day in history… NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Voyager 1 space probe launched from Kennedy Space Center to join its twin, Voyager 2, to study the outer solar system and interstellar space. It was launched on September 5, 1977, and in the 47 years since being on its mission, no spacecraft has gone farther than Voyager 1. It is 15.2 billion miles away from Earth and continues to collect data! #Voyager #SpaceMission #ThisDayinHistory #Space

📚 On this day in history… Louise Thaden became the first woman to win the Bendix Trophy Race on September 4, 1936, in a Beechcraft Model 17 Staggerwing. 🏆 Thaden and her co-pilot, Blanche Noyes, flew from New York City to Los Angeles in 14 hours and 55 minutes, with one fuel stop along the way. This was an outstanding accomplishment, as other racers and twin-engine airplanes were favored to win against Thaden’s biplane. Later, Thaden won the 1936 Harmon National Trophy for her outstanding aviation achievements. 📍 Some background on Louise Thaden… Before her days of flying and setting records, Louise Thaden worked as a sales representative at the Beech Aircraft Company in Wichita, Kansas, and part of her salary included flying lessons. She got her pilot certificate on May 16, 1928, that was signed by Orville Wright. Later in her career, Thaden also served as secretary of the National Aeronautic Association and was a co-founder of The Ninety-Nines, with which she served as that organization’s vice president and treasurer from the early to mid-1930s. 📸 Pictured: Louse Thaden (left) and Blanche Noyes (right), congratulated by Vincent Bendix (center) after winning the 1936 Bendix Trophy. #aviation #WIA #aviationhistory #avgeek #historybuff Women in Aviation International Beechcraft Beechcraft Heritage Museum
