FREE ZOOM TALK: “AVIATION IN ST. LOUIS”
June 4 @ 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Aviation has a long history in St. Louis. In 1910 President Theodore Roosevelt came to an airport in St. Louis because he wanted to be the first President to fly in an airplane. We started manufacturing new-fangled flying machines in 1911. A 1920 hangar now is home to horses. St. Louis has been involved with balloon flights, a dirigible harbor, air taxis, military aircraft, escadrilles, air circuses, parachuters, commercial aircraft. We have aviation museums, guided missile sites, the room where Charles Lindbergh was given the money for the Spirit of St. Louis. Doug Schneider will show how aviation has shaped St. Louis — and how St. Louis has taken to the air and shaped aviation.
June 4, 7:00pm – 8:00pm
All Prime Timers will be emailed a Zoom link for this free talk.
