Estrella Warbirds Museum Aviation Youth Program Free Movie
Paso Robles, CA - January 25, 2020. The Estrella Warbirds Museum Aviation Youth Program
invites the public to see a free movie, Spirit of St. Louis, starring James Stewart. Hosted by
Galaxy Colony Square Theatres, at 6917 El Camino Real, Atascadero, California, the movie will
be shown on Saturday, January 25, 2020 at 9:30 am. Doors will open at 9:00 am, with a brief
presentation about the Aviation Youth Program before the movie.
Spirit of St. Louis is a historically accurate accounting of one of aviation?s milestones ? solo
nonstop transatlantic flight from the United States to Europe. It tells the story of a courageous
pilot, Charles A. Lindberg, who overcomes the challenges of primitive airplanes, foul weather,
and fatigue, to successfully fly for 33 hours and 30 minutes from New York to Paris. This 1927
landmark achievement brought people of the world closer together.
The Aviation Youth Program at the Estrella Warbirds Museum provides young people the
opportunity to follow their interests and explore careers in aviation and aeronautics. The
program is open to all students in grades 8 through 12, and meets the third Saturday of each
month at 10:00 am in Thomson Hall at the Museum, 4251 Dry Creek Road, Paso Robles,
California.
Students have the opportunity to hear guest speakers on various aspects of aviation, go on field
trips to aviation related facilities, participate in classroom activities, and provide community
service. Past program activities have included career information presentations by airline and
military pilots, and trips to the CAL FIRE Air Attack Base at the Paso Robles Airport, Naval Air
Station at Lemoore, and FAA Control Tower at the San Luis Obispo Airport. Students have also
built drones, and adopted aircraft and displays to maintain at the Museum.
No motion picture has ever come so close to a young man and an era that belonged to young
people. You won?t want to miss this free movie and an opportunity to find out about the
Aviation Youth Program. Donations would be gratefully accepted. For more information,
