Live Chat: Facing the Challenge
In 2018, Southwest pilot Tammie Jo Shults made a one-engine emergency landing after the aircraft she was piloting suffered a blown engine. In this Air and Space Live Chat, Shults and museum curator Dorothy Cochrane will discuss that day, the history of women pilots and the challenges they faced, and what kind of training it takes to have nerves of steel.
*Note: This week's live chat will take place at 3:30 pm.
Watch on this page or on Facebook Live on the National Air and Space Museum and STEM in 30 Facebook pages.
We’ll be hosting an Air and Space Live Chat on Facebook Live every Thursday at 1 pm EDT until the Museum reopens. Each week we’ll feature a different expert to answer questions from kids, students, and air and space enthusiasts.
We rely on the generous support of donors, sponsors, members, and other benefactors to share the history and impact of aviation and spaceflight, educate the public, and inspire future generations. With your help, we can continue to preserve and safeguard the world’s most comprehensive collection of artifacts representing the great achievements of flight and space exploration.
