From hot-air balloons to jets, no other place has had a more diverse and significant aviation history than the city of Oakland.

Oakland witnessed the advent of stunt flying, the first transpacific flights, and the Dole Race, as well as many early commercial aviation operations, and a host of other groundbreaking advancements.
