“Pappy Boyington Field – A Campaign to Honor a Hero” is a chronicle of the community events surrounding the controversy to change the local airport name to “Coeur d’Alene Airport/Pappy Boyington Field.” Filmmaker Kevin Gonzalez will be on hand to introduce the film and to answer any questions.

The film features members of the Marine Corps League Pappy Boyington Detachment, local representatives of the Disabled American Veterans, The Distinguished Flying Cross Society, and other community members. Personal insights into Pappy Boyington’s life are provided by his son Greg Boyington Jr, as well as actor Robert Conrad who portrayed Pappy in the television series “Baa Baa Black Sheep.” The music of The United States Marine Band “The President’s Own” is featured in the soundtrack.

Program is Free with Museum Admission.
