Gray Eagles Film captures over 830,000 views

If you haven't seen the movie "Gray Eagles" yet, you should.  Produced by Prescott, Az's own filmmaker, Chris Woods (Legend Aviation), the story celebrates the legacy of the P-51 Mustang, the heroes of WWII and how the memories of fighter ace Lt. Jim Brooks bring two generations together.


I recently visited the site ASB.tv (Airshow Buzz---great site!) which previews a number of aviation films and the counter showed over 830,000 people viewed this film.  Where there's smoke, there's fire and this one's hot.  Great film for both the young and old.  We encourage you to visit the Gray Eagles Foundation Site and view their mission. 


The Gray Eagles Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping aviation history alive through dynamic audio-visual media created to educate and inspire those from all generations. Specifically, it is our hope that our films will encourage others to share their stories, and by doing so, build family connections, foster community, and nurture a culture of multi-generational understanding and respect.
 
The foundation's mission is to raise enough funds not only to complete our films, but also to distribute them to high schools, colleges, and other educational institutions throughout the country free of charge. Educators agree that these types of films add a critical component to history curriculums by bringing to life the stories and lessons of war, making the students' experience more personal, powerful, and therefore, relevant.

Just another reason why the Prescott Airport is the center of aviation!
