Spy Pilot Chronicles

March 24th, 2012 6:00pm

Location

Meet the men who flew Cold War missions in the fastest, most exotic spyplane ever built – the SR-71 Blackbird. On March 24 from 6 to 9 p.m., veteran air force pilots Brian Shul and Walt Watson tell-all in the "Spy Pilot Chronicles," only at The Museum of Flight.

Chat with them at a private reception next to the Museum’s Blackbird, and hear their amazing stories during a presentation that includes Shul’s world famous flight photos.

Following a reception with appetizers, there will be a presentation and book signing with Shul and Watson in the Museum Theater. Walt Watson is the only African American to qualify as a crewmember in the Blackbird, and the subject of many of Brian Shul’s stories. This program is not to be missed.

This special event also marks the 20th anniversary of Shul's "Sled Driver," the first photo/essay book to put the reader into the cockpit of the Mach 3 Blackbird. Shul and Watson will sign copies of the book following their presentation. Get more details and purchase tickets.
