The U.S. Centennial of Flight Commission has signed two new memorandums of agreement with organizations participating in the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the first powered flight in 2003. The Commission will provide outreach support to Aviation Specialty Resources, Inc. and Three Roads Communications, who will in turn help promote the Commission's national campaign, Centennial of Flight: Born of Dreams - Inspired by Freedom.
