January 29, 2008.
Chapter 17 members gathered at the Bearden Banquet Hall for the annual
fete. This year's speaker was Knoxville's own Wes Stowers. A graduate of the US
Air Force Academy, Wes returned to Knoxville after his career flying F-4s to
work in the family heavy equipment business. Never far from airplanes, he has a
T-6 Texan and P-51 Mustang, for fun, and a Citation CJ for business. The
focus of his talk was the care and feeding, myths and legends, of the North
American Mustang.
