NASA Aeronautics(@NASAaero):“As a kid, I looked up at night and imagined the possibilities. I thought flying airplanes would be the closest I would ever get to the stars. My journey goes all the way back to kindergarten, from picture books to watching Top Gun, to Space Camp, to flying fighter jets in airshows, and eventually to walking in space. When it comes to aviation, the adventure can take you quite literally anywhere.” — @NASAAdmin, Jared Isaacman ✨ What sparked your love of aviation? Share your Flight Spark through Aug. 19!
