A brunch reception and press conference will be held in the historic Terminal A Lobby complex - to introduce the first-ever 3D IMAX aviation documentary, Legends of Flight, and to announce its world debut in Washington.

Legends of Flight is directed by Stephen Low and produced by The Stephen Low Company (producer Pietro L. Serapiglia), executive produced by K2 Communications (executive producers Bob Kresser and Jan Baird), and is in association with the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. It presents the latest giant screen film production techniques and uses 15/70 3D to both entertain and educate audiences about the most modern of planes...and the influence their predecessors - like the Stearman PT17 and the iconic Lockheed Constellation - continue to have on modern air transportation...including the Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

1015 A flight of five vintage Stearman airplanes will land at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in a salute to aviation and to announce Legends of Flight.
