Wings of Courage Take Flight in Valdosta Thursday Evening
VALDOSTA, Ga. – The America250 celebration at Turner Center for the Arts concludes with a free special screening of the award-winning documentary “The Flight of Jackie Cochran,” honoring the remarkable life of aviation pioneer Jackie Cochran. In collaboration with the Wings of Courage tour and Moody Air Force Base, we will be showing this documentary at the Turner Center for the Arts on Thursday, November 12th.
A contemporary and rival of Amelia Earhart, Cochran shattered more speed, altitude, and distance records than any pilot of her era—male or female. She became the first woman to break the sound barrier and founded the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) during World War II, forever changing opportunities for women in military aviation. Her inspiring story reminds audiences that the American spirit is defined by perseverance, innovation, and the courage to pursue the impossible.
The Flight of Jackie Cochran will be shown at 6 p.m. on Thursday, November 12th, at Turner Center for the Arts, located at 527 North Patterson Street in Valdosta. For more information, call 229-247-2787 or email info@turnercenter.org.
