Dahl Fund Night at the Museum Gala - September 11, 2015 - Denver
The Captain Jason Dahl Scholarship Fund Presents a Night at the Museum Awards Dinner/ Retirement Gala on September 11, 2015, from 6 to 10 pm at the Wings over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, Denver, Colorado.
The gathering will bring together aviators past, present, and future as the the Dahl Fund honors the heroes of 9/11/2001 while awarding the 2015 Jason Dahl scholarship recipients.
The evening festivities are highlighted by keynote speaker Amelia Rose Earhart. Earhart, aviator adventurer and former News 9 Reporter, circumnavigated the globe in 2014 in partnership with the Wings over the Rockies Museum. She departed on June 26 last year from Oakland, California in a single engine Pilatus PC-12 with her co-pilot, Shane Jordon. On July 11, seventeen stops, 24,300 nautical-miles, 14 countries, and just over 108 flying hours later, they landed back in Oakland without incident. Her route was across the US, then south into the Caribbean, thru northeast Brazil, across the South Atlantic Ocean, then the African continent, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Islands, and the Pacific Ocean before returning to California. Amelia’s message and talk promises to be highly entertaining and informative.
Also invited to appear is United Airlines Director of Flight Training Captain Mike McCasky. Captain McCasky will provide an update on United Airlines and plans for the newly announced Denver consolidated training base. All during the evening live feed video reports from Shanksville, PA, the site of the United Flight 93 memorial, are planned to be provided.
The night at the museum includes:
The evening’s Master of Ceremonies will be United 767 Captain Denny Flanagan.
Tickets are $93 per person or $175 for a couple. These prices salute the heroes of United Flight 93: Capt. Jason Dahl and First Officer Leroy Homer and United Flight 175: Capt. Vic Saracini and First Officer Michael Horrocks.

I was thinking about it, but at almost $800 for flight and hotel, I'd rather just donate some money without having dinner.

Per Capt. Denny, "What we are doing is trying to make it an annual event for retired pilots to attend. If this catches on then I will get to see old friends in years to come."
Captain Denny will be retiring in June 2016.
Meet the Captain of Captain Denny's ship! Mrs. Flanagan will be attending the Gala.
