Hip Hip Hooray for Team USA who received more medals than any other country at this year's Olympics! Our
athletes went toe-to-toe with a number of fierce competitors, yet the biggest challenge they had to face was actually getting to the Games...
Members of the Aviation Industry worked non-stop to get not only the athletes to Rio, but also, the equipment, horses, coaches and famous Torch; which
was kept in four separate lamps, fueled by kerosene in order to avoid getting
extinguished
. In appreciation of an Industry that contributed so much to the 2016 Olympics, we are featuring the Year 2005; when the B&I salute honored the Aviation Industry.
