Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology has donated a significant 126-foot aviation mural, showcasing the history of flight from 1909 to 1927, to the Cradle of Aviation Museum. This historic mural, depicting 600 pilots and 268 aircraft, was painted by Aline Rhonie and was housed at Vaughn College since 2006. It is notable for its connections to aviation icons like Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart. At a recent ceremony, the college emphasized the mural's role in preserving aviation heritage and honoring early pioneers who influenced modern aviation.
"The mural, painted by pilot and artist Aline Rhonie, took four years to complete and is significant in telling the story of early aviators who flocked to Long Island."
"This mural not only represents the rich history of aviation in Long Island but also celebrates the pioneers who paved the way for future generations of pilots and industry professionals."
