Wings Over Arizona with Historymaker Ed Beauvais

Aviation history was made in Arizona and recreated March 25 at the AZ Heritage Center at Papago Park. Thanks to the vision of guest speaker and 2017 Historymaker Ed Beauvais, Sky Harbor airport became a major hub for airline travel. Mr Beauvais described the setting in the 1960-70's as he entered the field and the changes that occurred in airplane travel.

Thanks to Historical League member and flight attendant Jeannine Moyle and her husband pilot Jim Moyle,  the history came alive again. About 200 airline and aviation enthusiasts brought memorabilia and stories to the event and reminisced. Many Historical League members and general public enjoyed the evening as well.
