Captain Bill Norwood stopped by MSI earlier this month to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the United Airlines pilot volunteer program at the Museum. On this day in 1992, the Museum’s 727 famously landed at Meigs Field. The 727 prominently hangs from the balcony at MSI, proudly bearing the name Captain Norwood on the side of the aircraft to honor his incredible career as United Airline’s first African-American pilot.
