Speakers

Meeting will be held at the Pacific Coast Air Museum at the Sonoma County Airport. Speaker (name to be confirmed) will be from the museum.

The Pacific Coast Air Museum's mission is to educate, inspire, preserve, and honor—sharing the story of aviation and space technology while safeguarding historic aircraft and recognizing the service of our veterans. As a hands-on museum, PCAM invites visitors to experience aviation up close. Guests can explore aircraft firsthand, look inside cockpits, and discover how these extraordinary machines were designed and flown.

From pilots and veterans to students and families, the Pacific Coast Air Museum welcomes all who share a passion for flight. Guided tours, school field trips, and group programs make PCAM a destination where history truly comes alive.
