Ever wonder what pilots do when the “impossible” happens?
Join the Kiwanis Club of Steilacoom for a special evening presentation on Thursday, May 7, from 6:00–8:00 PM at the Steilacoom Professional Development Center.
FREE snacks provided! (Club members will provide finger foods.)
Our featured speaker, Lt. Col. Dudley Dvorak, USAF (Ret.), was the Flight Engineer aboard United Airlines Flight 232 — the DC-10 that crashed in Sioux City, Iowa, in July 1989 after a catastrophic failure that experts believed could never happen.
With no checklist and virtually no way to control the aircraft, the crew relied on skill, teamwork, and split-second decisions to attempt an emergency landing that became one of the most studied aviation events in history.
This is a rare opportunity to hear firsthand from someone who lived through one of aviation’s most dramatic emergencies.
Guests and community members are warmly welcome!
