Scout Saturdays
Saturday, September 15th 2012
Boy and Girl Scouts of all ages are invited to visit the Hiller Aviation Museum on Scout Saturdays! On these dates, Scouts and Scout leaders in uniform will be admitted to the Hiller Aviation Museum at no charge. Explore the Museum's collection of over 40 different historic aircraft, observe airport operations at busy San Carlos Airport, and find out more about Interest Patch and Merit Badge programs offered throughout the year at the Hiller Aviation Museum, and attend presentations by two former Scouts who led exemplary careers in aviation.
Scouting in Aviation
Eagle Scout/USAF Colonel William Wardwell
11 AM on Saturday, September 15th 2012
Lt. Colonel (Retired) William Wardwell attained the rank of Eagle Scout at the age of 14 before starting on the path of a professional aviator. As a cadet and pilot for the United States Air Force, Col. Wardwell flew a variety of jet aircraft during his decorated career, including the Northrop T-38 Talon and Lockheed C-141 Starlifter. A veteran of both the Vietnam War and Operation Desert Storm, Col. Wardwell will describe his experiences as a Scout and a pilot in an informative 30-minute presentation.
A Girl With Wings
Girl Scout/Experimental Aircraft Builder Gail Turner Bauer
11:45 AM on Saturday, September 15th 2012
Gail Turner Bauer learned at an early age that there wasn't anything she couldn't do if she put her mind to it. Ms. Bauer bred, raised and rode champion horses as a girl, opened a manufacturing business, taught kindergarten-and built and flew her own airplanes! In 1976 she completed a transcontinental flight to become the first woman to do so in an aircraft of her own construction. A former Girl Scout, Ms. Bauer will describe her experiences in a 30-minute presentation and will display The Duchess Papillon, her Marquart Charger biplane.
