George Tinseth – “History of Aviation in Arizona”
March 16 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm MST
The City of Tucson has been home to several notable moments in aviation history over the past 115 years. For almost 80 years of those years, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base has contributed to several of those moments. For this lecture, we will journey through the story of how the installation came to be, its relationship with the greater Tucson community, and the multiple mission sets, units, and colorful characters it has accommodated.
Speaker George Tinseth is the historian for the 355 Wing based at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, AZ. In that role, he documents the history and preserves the lineage of this proud, kinetic, and adaptive unit, past, present, and future through annual reports, archive management, and special studies.
