Beginning 11 June, a new IMAX® 3D film will be released, entitled Legends of Flight. The Legends film will showcase some of history’s most amazing aircraft -- highlighting the design challenges, financial risks, and many lessons learned from a century of aviation trial and error, bringing us to the dawn of a new era of revolutionary aircraft — Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A380. Filmed in IMAX® 3D, this film promises to set a new standard in large format aviation films. Legends of Flight will be released to IMAX® and other Giant Screen theaters, plus digital theaters, in 3D and 2D. As a promotional partner for this endeavor, CAP members may be able to receive group discounted tickets and/or preview screenings at theaters near them.
           
 CAP Members Offered Special Viewings of the new Legends of Flight Imax Film…The Legends Website, http://www.legendsofflightfilm.com, has several good links for more detailed information. The links include film overview and trailers, scheduled theater locations across the country, an interactive map, historical aviation data, and excellent K-8 aerospace educational companion materials (great for students and cadets). Their Website will also be listing Civil Air Patrol as a film partner and will be adding specific Aerospace Education and Cadet Programs links therein. The Wing Director of Aerospace Education (DAE) would be a great POC for the wing, if interested in organizing a multi-squadron event at the theater for a special viewing. To add to this viewing event, your wing could invite a local aviation icon to be a special group speaker, either before or after the showing. If your wing is interested in working with a local theater for group discounts, and, a possible special event with your selected speaker, the wing’s POC (probably the DAE) should contact the Executive Producer at K2 Communications, Jan Baird, at jan_baird@k2communications.com. If the POC will contact Jan in a timely manner, she can include information about CAP in the marketing package geared for each theater. This would be an excellent public awareness opportunity for the CAP wings. Remember to include the Aerospace Education Members (AEMs) in your wing! If an IMAX theater in your area is not listed on the schedule, and your wing is interested in having your local Giant Screen theater contacted to be scheduled for a screening, please let Jan Baird know this, as well. If you have further questions, CAP’s NHQ POC is Susan Mallett at smallett@capnhq.gov.
