Wingtips was first developed in 1993 by Dave Fulton, the then director of the Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT’s) Aviation Division, as a way to communicate TxDOT’s plans to promote aviation and support its growth across Texas.
Over the years, the magazine has evolved from a simple black-and-blue publication to a full-color magazine, with stories covering a wide range of topics — including safety tips, airport profiles and event highlights.
Now, for the first time, the complete Wingtips archive is available online at https://aviation.tti.tamu.edu/ publications/wingtips/. Readers can explore decades of Texas aviation history and see how the state’s aviation community has grown and changed over time.
As we continue sharing the stories of Texas aviation, we welcome your ideas for future issues. If you have a story suggestion or a topic you’d like to see covered, please contact us at [email protected].
