Airfest St. Thomas “Signature Gala Event”

Up for an evening of intrigue? Prefer your martinis shaken, not stirred? Airfest St. Thomas kicks things off with their “Signature Gala Event”. Friday, June 24th, supporting Hospice of Elgin. Tickets are $125 each. Full table options are available. Your seat at this exclusive event includes a gourmet meal prepared by top chefs, wine pairings, live entertainment, and door prizes. Headlined by keynote speaker, SR-71 Blackbird Jet Pilot, Brian Shul. Brian Shul is one of the most popular and dynamic keynote speakers in America today. His compelling story of living fearlessly and embracing the opportunities each day brings, resonates with men and women of all ages. As an Air Force fighter pilot, Brian was shot down in the Vietnam War and severely burned in the ensuing crash. Initially given up for dead, he was finally rescued and spent one year in hospitals, endured 15 surgeries and was told his flying days were over. Amazingly, Brian returned to active duty flying and became one of only 93 men in history to fly the SR-71 spy plane, the fastest jet ever built. Brian masterfully uses his aviation slides and stories as a vehicle to tell a broader inspired story of hope, overcoming obstacles and daring to dream. From lying near death in the jungles of Southeast Asia to flying the world’s fastest jet, Brian shares his amazing story in this most unforgettable one-of-a-kind presentation that both inspires and educates.
