Steve Palmquist, a longtime aerospace teacher in the Civil Air Patrol, will cover all things aviation during Wartburg College’s next Keep on Learning community education series, beginning Thursday, Oct. 17.

Palmquist, who served with the Civil Air Patrol for more than 30 years and was director of aerospace education for Iowa’s Wing, will introduce principles of flight as well as discuss the concentrated histories of aviation and space flight during his session, titled “Aerospace: The Sky’s the Limit.”
