The National Model Aviation Museum celebrated the 50th anniversary of NASA by holding its Second Official Student Aviation Art Contest. The theme of this year’s contest was “Innovative Flight Design.” Entries focused on either historic aircraft (influential aircraft designs created previously) or aircraft of the future (designs created by the artist.)
