Hill Aerospace Museum Plane Talks for December

HILL AIR FORCE BASE — A very special flier will join Hill Aerospace Museum’s monthly Plane Talk presentations this month.

Due to the holidays, only two military members will present Plane Talks in December.

At 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1, the speaker will be Dennis Howland. Howland served in the U.S. Marine Corps as a sergeant in the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. He accompanied corpsmen to provide security during his time in Vietnam.

Upon returning from Vietnam, Howland promised a group of Gold Star Mothers that he “would never let the world forget how important their sons were to the history of this country.” When he moved to Utah, Howland started a chapter of Vietnam Veterans of America and became the organization’s Utah president.

At 1 p.m. Dec. 8, Lynn “Squirt” Taylor will be the speaker. Taylor served as an officer in the U.S. Air Force from 1995 to 2005.

His primary duty was piloting the A-10 Thunderbolt II, affectionately known as the “Warthog.” He was also trained as an airborne forward air controller and combat search and rescue pilot.

On Dec. 15, no Plane Talk will be held, but the pilot of a unique aircraft will be the honored guest. Santa Claus will visit the museum that day.

Hill Aerospace Museum is at 7961 Wardleigh Road, east of the Roy exit. Admission is free.

For more information, call 801-825-5817.
