With the 2010 North Cascades Vintage Fly-In only a few days away, we wanted to let everybody know that we have two talks scheduled for Saturday afternoon.
Addison Pemberton will be talking about his Boeing Model 40C at 3:00pm and author Richard Bach will be speaking at 4:30pm. Both talks will take place inside the main museum hangar.
Mr. Pemberton will be arriving Friday afternoon with his Boeing and will perform some fly-bys during the fly-in on Saturday. The Model 40C is the oldest flying Boeing in the world and was found on a mountain top in Oregon where it sat for 70 years. After an exhaustive eight year restoration, the Boeing flew again for the first time in 2008.
The airplane can carry four passengers in cabin comfort, with the pilot sitting in an open cockpit. Mr. Pemberton will talk about the history of the Boeing Model 40C, as well as the incredible restoration that was completed to get the airplane back in the air.
Richard Bach is a legendary pilot and best selling author. The long time pilot and adventurer is very well known in aviation circles for his books that share the passion for flight many of us experience, but few of us can share in words.
We are honored to have these extraordinary speakers at this year’s vintage fly-in and we hope you will be able to join us as well. The weather forecast is looking great for the weekend and we hope you can fly, drive or ride up to Concrete to enjoy the airplanes!
