The Pacific Northwest Chapter

08/05/2022

The Pacific Northwest Chapter will be featured at The Museum of Flights "Jet Blast Bash" this weekend from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

We will be in the parking area beside the runway.

Drop by and see us. We love to talk to people about the history of the Distinguished Flying Cross and will even relate stories of what it was like to fly combat missions during the Vietnam War.

We keep it kid friendly and have some give away pins for any interested child.

This event is always fun, and you can even watch the Blue Angles prepare and then take off right in front of you at about 3:00PM.

Come join us as we celebrate aviation and enjoy a glorious Seattle weekend.

Checking back in. It's been a while since I posted on this site. As one of the founding members of the PNW Chapter of the Distinguished Flying Cross Society I was pleased to see a good turnout at the annual meeting last weekend. For those of you who did not attend, it's a great group with excellent comradery.

The Pacific Northwest Chapter Reception at The Gunnar Nordstrom Gallery in Bellevue, Washington on June 13th, kicking off the Thom Ross exhibit "My Last Conversation with Albert Ball." The exhibit runs from June 14th through July 8.

This was a fun evening in a new venue for our chapter and we very grateful to the Gunnar Nordstrom Gallery for allowing us to co-host this event with them.

Tom Ross has created a unique series of works depicting the young WWI flying aces as real people and not just legends. His use of materials for the paintings and frames, which reflects the construction of the aircraft they flew, added a depth of connection to these very real men who were caught up in a legend making struggle.
