We were thrilled to welcome students to our hangar for Aviation Opportunity Day! Students had the chance to connect with aviation professionals, explore a variety of career paths, ask questions, and get an up-close look at some incredible aircraft. We hope this experience inspired the next generation to dream big and discover the many opportunities available in the world of aviation!

A huge thank-you to Eugene Airport, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, Alaska Airlines, the FAA, and Lane Community College for your support and participation in making this event a success. We’re grateful to everyone who helped make this day of learning, connection, and inspiration possible!

The University of Oregon Libraries and the Soaring by the Sea Foundation invite the public to a special screening of newly preserved home movies created by William Henry “Heine” Fluhrer, an Oregon businessman, military officer, and veteran of both World War I and World War II.
During World War II, Fluhrer served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Air Forces Air Transport Command. Stationed throughout South America, Africa, Europe, and Asia, he documented his experiences on 16mm color film, creating a remarkable visual record of wartime aviation and daily life around the world.
This program features selections from Fluhrer’s recently preserved films, made possible through a grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation. The preservation project ensures that these historically significant films remain accessible to researchers, students, and the public for generations to come.
Filmed primarily in 1944 and 1945, the silent color footage captures extraordinary moments from the closing years of World War II, including rare scenes documenting the release of prominent Allied prisoners of war following Germany’s surrender, early jet aircraft, and a major aviation exhibition held beneath the Eiffel Tower.
Presented in conjunction with Home Movie Day, the annual celebration of amateur films and their role in preserving personal, community, and cultural history, this screening offers a rare opportunity to experience newly preserved Oregon home movies while following the global journey of one remarkable Oregonian.
