Tom Lea’s Art of Aviation : War Eagles Museum

Tom Lea’s Art of Aviation : War Eagles Museum

Boarding all passengers ready for exploration!

From flying the hump in China during WWII to becoming a pioneer of corporate air flight in the Southwest, A.M. "Swede" Johnsen's story reads like a novel.

Join A.M. "Swede" Johnsen's and his children, Carolyn and Guy, at the War Eagles Museum for a free presentation and a tour of the museum where they will share insights into how their father influenced corporate aviation at El Paso Natural Gas Company and discuss how his life parallels to WWII and Southwest artist Tom Lea.
