September 9, 2025 – Former Air Force One Navigator to Share Memories of 9/11
Join us Thursday, September 18, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. at the Hopkins County Genealogical Society Research Library for a program by Retired Lt. Col. Everett DeWolfe. He was the Navigator for Air Force One on 9/11 and will be talking about his experiences that day. Lt. Col. DeWolfe spent 28 years in the Air Force with twelve of them being on the crew of Air Force One. Lt. Col. DeWolfe was the first and only navigator to serve as the operations officer of the 1st Airlift Squadron at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland, whose mission was to fly our nation’s leaders worldwide. Before joining the crew of Air Force One he spent eight years flying our nation’s leaders from the Vice-President on down. His passengers included Vice-Presidents George H. W. Bush, Don Quayle and Al Gore. He also flew Secretaries of State George Shultz, James Baker, Lawrence Eagelburger, Madeleine Albright and Colin Powell. Lt. Col. DeWolfe joined the crew of Air Force One in October of 1993 and served as instructor and evaluator navigator until he retired in April of 2005. After retiring from the Air Force, DeWolfe worked for L3 Communications (now L3Harris) until he retired in 2020.
Mr. DeWolfe has shared his story with several other groups in our area this year, many of whom charged an admission fee. We are so fortunate to have him speak to us only a week after the 24th anniversary of the events that had profound consequences across the globe, and his presentation is free to society members, non-members and the general public. We hope to see you there!
If you cannot join us in-person, we invite you to join us via Zoom.
