The Seattle Chapter announces our chapter’s 50th anniversary celebration at the Museum of Flight on June 1 and 2, 2018. The Society was founded in 1968 by engineers working on the flight test program of the original 747-100, and we will be honoring our legacy during this two-day event. Friday’s schedule will include a local symposium of presentations and workshops celebrating our past and looking toward our future, as well as a cocktail reception. Saturday’s schedule will include a public panel discussion about flight test engineering, as well as tours of the museum’s four flight test airplanes: the first 747, the first 727 (newly restored), the third 787, and the original 737 prototype, not normally open to the public. Attendees of Friday’s Symposium will get free admission to the Museum all day Saturday. On Saturday night we will host an Alumni Dinner to celebrate our founding members. Contact the Event Chairman, Kevin Welch.
