Wichita aerial photographer Paul Bowen will interview native Wichitan and pilot-entrepreneur Clay Lacy about his exploits at Wichita State University on Thursday.
Lacy established the first executive jet charter service west of the Mississippi in 1968. Today he operates 19 aircraft. He may be best known for his development of a camera system called Astrovision and providing air-to-air film footage for nearly 3,000 projects, including Hollywood blockbusters such as Top Gun and Armageddon.
Lacy will speak at 6 p.m. Thursday at 210 McKnight Art Center. The event is free and open to the public. The presentation is sponsored by WSU’s Ulrich Museum in conjunction with its exhibit, “Jet as Art.”
