The Jalonick Lecture Series is back! On Saturday, April 20 at 2 pm, the Library and the History of Aviation Archives are hosting a presentation called Strategic Air Command to be held in the Engineering and Computer Science West (ECSW) Building (1.315).
Robert S. Hopkins III Ph.D. is a second-generation SAC pilot. He was qualified in 17 types of EC-, KC-, and RC-135s. Hopkins participated in SAC alert as a KC-135 tanker pilot and an EC-135 pilot with SAC’s Post Attack Command and Control System. As an RC-135 pilot, he was part of SAC’s elite strategic reconnaissance program verifying Soviet compliance with the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty, and flew combat missions during Operation DESERT STORM.
The Jalonick Lecture Series is provided by an endowment from Mary Jalonick, Sally Ann Hudnall, and Jim Snodgrass. We thank them for their investment in the University of Texas at Dallas and the Library’s History of Aviation Archives.
