The National Air Tour last visited Memphis in 1927 and again in 1931. A July 1927 headline in The Commercial Appeal said of the Tour, "They Brought Commercial Aviation to Memphis"

The July 8, 1927article went on to say, "When the National Air Tour arrived in Memphis yesterday afternoon they demonstrated to Memphians the value of commercial aviation... Memphis is awakening to opportunities offered by the new era in passenger and freight transportation," they said.
