About this Event
The Day Nobody Flew
September 11th was not the first time the skies were still. Operation Sky Shield was three exercises of unprecedented scope which simulated an airborne attack by the Soviet Union and tested US military response across North America. Sky Shield deployed more than 250,000 members of the military, required all air traffic grounded, and all airports north of Mexico closed so that NORAD and the US Air Force could control our skies. Join us to examine the exhaustive planning behind Sky Shield and its results, which were classified for decades and forgotten to history when the actual airborne attack came in 2001. Light continental breakfast is included.
