presenting
National Museum of the USAF
View from Balcony in USAF Museum, Dayton, OH
Our presenter for the December meeting is none other than Ted Black, the illustrious leader of our very own Lone Star Aero Club.
Ted was hooked on most phases of aviation at an early age, about 6 or 7 years old. His dad, Walter Black, worked at Wright Aeronautical in northern Cincinnati, Ohio during World War II as a finish machinist. Walter joined the Civil Air Patrol and they started visiting various airports to see airplanes fly. Shortly after the Big War he took Ted and Ted’s two brothers up to Dayton, OH to see Airshows. Ted was definitely hooked on airplanes and flying. Walter also exposed his sons to the US Air Force Museum in Dayton. Walter also worked to receive his private pilot’s license, so in 1946 or 1947 Ted got his very first airplane ride up in Cincinnati with his dad as pilot. Consequently, aviation ended up in Ted’s DNA. (Or so he claims. Maybe one of those DNA tests is in order.)
Ted has made an annual trip the US Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio for the last 4 years. For the program, Ted will be showing some of the more- interesting photos he has taken there, and expounding on the relevant aspects of each shot.
