“Pappy Boyington Field,” a documentary about a campaign to rename the airport at Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, after World War II air ace and Medal of Honor recipient Gregory “Pappy” Boyington, will be returning to the area this weekend.
The film, which played at last year’s Tacoma Film Festival, will be screened twice at the Museum of Flight, at 2 p.m. Saturday and again Sunday at the same time.
Sunday’s screening will mark the 21st anniversary of Boyington’s death from cancer at age 75 on Jan. 11, 1988.
The film was written and directed by Gonzalez, like Boyington a former Marine. In an interview with the News Tribune, he said the effort of local citizens to change the airport name to honor the war hero, who was born in Coeur d’Alene, “resonated with me as a Marine because the gravity of his legacy kept me focused on doing this film. I tried to capture the essence of what a Medal of Honor recipient means to people."
The Museum of Flight is located at 9404 E. Marginal Way S., Seattle. For more information, call 206-764-5720.
