Lundeen Statue of Jack Swigert, Apollo 13 CMP

Lundeen Statue of Jack Swigert, Apollo 13 CMP

Colorado astronaut Jack Swigert was the Command Module Pilot on the nearly disastrous Apollo 13 mission in 1970. While traveling to the Moon, an oxygen tank exploded, crippling the spacecraft and virtually dooming the crew. Ingenuity, teamwork with engineers on the ground, and a “failure is not an option” attitude enabled the crew to make emergency repairs and a successful landing. This statue is a duplicate of the bronze created by George and Mark Lundeen for the National Statuary Collection in the United States Capitol.

Wings is thrilled to announce the expansion of the WAE pathway at our Exploration of Flight campus at Centennial Airport to include middle school classes! For this upcoming 2025/2026 school year, WAE Centennial will be open to middle school and high school students (grades 6-12).

WAE students have the opportunity to explore the wonders of flight, engage with industry professionals, and gain valuable skills for future careers in aerospace. The program includes building and operating RC airplanes, drones and robotics, as well as coding, rocketry and LOTS of other aviation and space related subjects. Wings Aerospace Exploration is an enrichment program and complements but does not take the place of an accredited educational institution.
