Idaho Experience examines the state's fascinating aviation history.

When the first commercial airmail pilot took to the air in Idaho in 1926, it didn’t take long before many realized airplanes could open the state to a world of possibilities.

Find out how early pilots took on Idaho’s rugged landscape.
