2016 marks the 25th Anniversary of the Colorado Division of Aeronautics. This video documentary takes you through Colorado's early pioneer settlers, then on to some of Colorado's early aviation pioneers including Elrey Jeppesen, Rocky Mountain Airways, and Emily Howell Warner.
While Colorado was the last state in the Union to create a Division of Aeronautics, the Colorado pioneering spirit remains a mainstay with Colorado Division of Aeronautics. In the past 25 years, The Colorado Division of Aeronautics has pioneered several unique programs and projects that have set the example for the rest of the nation.
This all couldn't have been done without outstanding people and relationships, a robust aviation system, and the desire to utilize and develop new technologies to make flying in Colorado as safe and enjoyable as possible.
