MSgt Travis Bolt of Ellsworth Air Force Base will talk about his recent deployment to the Middle East and what those on active duty and their families can expect when called up. Sponsored by the Black Hills Veterans Writing Group, the event will take place at the Western Dakota Technical Institute in Rapid City on Saturday, November 13th at 9 am. A carpool to the South Dakota Air and Space Museum near Ellsworth will follow the talk. A no-charge guided tour, led by Maj. Robert Liebman (USAF ret), will focus on 25 warplanes ranging from World War II bombers and transports to the contemporary B-1B Lancer, including a B-25 Mitchell, a B-26 Invader, a B-29 Superfortress, a B-52 Stratofortress, an an F-86 Saber. They will also see a Minuteman II Intercontinental Ballistic Missile and experience an F-106 interactive cockpit simulation.
