The 100th Anniversary of Naval Aviation Foundation has
announced its Official Centennial of Naval Aviation Kick-Off Gala
in honor of the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard's 100th
anniversary of flight. The occasion will be celebrated on Saturday,
February 12, 2011 onboard the USS Midway Museum in San Diego, CA --

The star-studded invitee list includes significant contributors
to Naval Aviation's past and present, foundation sponsors, elected
officials and leaders in Naval Aviation, both active duty and
retired military.
The Kick-Off Gala is part of the weekend-long San Diego

States. "We are kicking off a year-long commemoration of the
progress and achievements of Naval Aviation and celebrating the
commitments made by hundreds of thousands of Americans over the
past century," said Foundation Co-Chairman Rear Admiral John "Mac"

The Kick-Off Gala will include a custom video presentation

achievements of the past and embrace the possibilities of the
future of Naval Aviation," said Foundation Co-Chairman Major
