Wings Over Kansas.com is an aviation website founded in 1998 by Carl Chance (and owned by Chance Communications, Inc.) to provide information and entertainment to aviation enthusiasts and professionals worldwide[1][2][3] -- particularly highlighting the aviation industry, activity and history of Kansas.[3][2][4][5]
The web site is based in Wichita, Kansas, known as the "Air Capital of the World" due to the many aircraft manufacturers located there since 1916, and the many aircraft produced (over a quarter-million) by the city's factories.[1][6]
In 2003, the site was upgraded to a data-based web site to better serve the needs of its members. "Wings Over Kansas" has grown steadily and as of 2009 draws over a quarter of a million visitors yearly from over 125 countries and all 50 states of the U.S.[1][2][3]
