 Al Malmberg spoke to Paul Dye who grew up in Minnesota, learned how to fly at the Anoka County Airport, went to the University of Minnesota to get his aeronautical engineering degree.  From there, he went to work for NASA in many capacities, including working as Flight Director for 39-shuttle missions.  Not too shabby for a kid from Minnesota!  Now, he's being inducted into the Minnesota Aviation Hall of Fame on April 20th.

Al Malmberg learns how an SR-71 BlackBird spy plane ended up in front of the Minnesota Air National Guard at Fort Snelling. Jim Goodall was an E-3 at the time with the guard, and was the driving force behind this. How does a Staff Sargent pull this off?  How was the move itself pulled off?
