Details: |
The traveling exhibit of historical photos will be at the presentation. The Archives will be showing two restored movies of using aircraft for relief missions from the 1950s. The SD Aeronautics Commission donated money to the Archives for the film conservation. Norma reports: “I have seen both movies and they are really a wonderful snapshot of aviation in the 1950's. One shows the use of a DC-3 to drop hay to cattle in the aftermath of a blizzard and flooding. The other movie shows a practice relief mission coordinated by Cecil Ice and Walt Ball where volunteer pilots from around the state landed on the highway south of Pierre with relief supplies and the Rapid City tower set up a temporary control tower to coordinate activities. Governor Joe Foss has a cameo appearance with Cecil.”
