Inspired by the recognition of National Aviation Day on Aug. 19, we asked our group — including AC-U-KWIK, Air Charter Guide, Aircraft Bluebook, Business & Commercial Aviation, The Weekly of Business Aviation and Airportdata.com — to share favorite photos and stories relate to aviation.

We have chatted up Neil Armstrong, become queasy during vertical rolls in an F-16, posed as "runway models" and done a lot of business with customers and contacts at trade shows.
