Clyde Pangborn could land on the silver screen almost 100 years after takeoff

The briefing

A new documentary is in the works celebrating Wenatchee aviation pioneer Clyde Pangborn and his historic transpacific flight. Two local production companies, North Forty and Voortex Productions, are targeting a 2030 international release ahead of the 100th anniversary in 2031. Producers pitched the project to the Chelan-Douglas Regional Port Authority on Tuesday to secure regional support and tourism partnerships.
