Event Details
On April 21st, 1945, Tuskegee Airman Leland "Sticky" Pennington took off on a flight in his P-51 Mustang "Lucy Gal." World War II was drawing near a close, but his services as a bomber escort pilot were still sorely needed. En route to the mission, the Rochester, NY pilot went missing in action, and he has never been found. His story, however, is still flying.
Local pilot and history enthusiast Austin Hancock will share Pennington's story as well as tell about efforts to keep his story alive.
