The selfless actions of pilots and flight crews aboard Flights 11, 77, 175, and 93 on the morning of September 11 remain an important part of the story we tell at the 9/11 Memorial Museum. Each year, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum commemorates National Aviation Week by offering free admission to flight crew members, both active and retired, who come to pay tribute.

In honor of National Aviation Week, we recognize the flight crew members lost on 9/11 and the commitment of the men and women who continue to help keep passengers safe today.
