Join us for Aviation Movie Night on FRIDAY, July 17th, for a high flying 1943 aviation drama, “Flight for Freedom.” This month is generously sponsored by the Ron Alexander Youth Aviation Program!
Pizza and popcorn at 6:30pm, movie starts at 7:00pm. Admission is free, donations always appreciated! All ages welcome.
The Movie: “Flight for Freedom” (1943):
A fictionalized biography of Amelia Earhart (here called Tonie Carter). First, a flagwaving preface about air warfare in the Pacific; then flashing back to her first solo flight in 1932; whirlwind romance with sexist ace pilot Randy Britton; advanced training; a transcontinental race; world fame; first, aborted round-the-world flight; and her famous disappearance. This film popularized the theory that Earhart’s disappearance was connected with secret work for the U.S. Navy.
