Presentation: Those Dangerous Glamour Years of Aviation

Senior Moments, a monthly coffee and conversation program designed specifically for seniors, will meet in the Library’s Conference Room at 3 p.m., Monday, Sept. 19 for a lecture on “Behind the Smile: the Glamour Years of Aviation.” What would you do if your plane’s emergency exit erupted? Or if missiles exploded as your jet landed in a war zone? The late 1960s and early 1970s years, during the dawn of the jet age, were a time when danger and glamour existed side by side.
