Prior to screening the documentary Our City, Our Airport, we will discuss how to effectively advocate for your local airport with examples of what Friends of Albert Whitted Airport has done. This documentary about Albert Whitted Airport matters because it tells a story that’s bigger than one airport. It’s a story about the power of community, the importance of preserving history, and the vital role that local airports play in the future of aviation. It’s a tribute to the unsung heroes of aviation and a call to action for anyone who believes in the importance of keeping the spirit of flight alive for future generations. Set against the glittering waterfront of St. Petersburg, Florida, Our City, Our Airport tells the unlikely survival story of one of the nation’s oldest general aviation airfields and a constant target of political pressure and waterfront development.
