Join us as we welcome Colonel Richard G. “Duke” Woodhull, Jr., a distinguished U.S. Air Force pilot with a 30-year career in high-stakes aviation, reconnaissance, and international intelligence. With over 6,500 military flight hours, Colonel Woodhull’s career spanned from flying U-2 spy planes over Vietnam to serving as Defense & Air Attaché in the Philippines, where he provided critical intelligence during a volatile era.Whether flying the high-altitude U-2 spy plane, meeting Communist guerillas in the hills of Luzon, narrowly avoiding a fatal bullet in Argentina, or nearly being deported from a diplomatic post twice, Colonel Woodhull has lived a life of adventure, resilience, and service—always blessed with good fortune and fortuitous circumstances.
As a distinguished graduate of the Air War College, his assignments took him across the globe, from strategic air refueling missions to diplomatic posts and international aircraft sales. Decorated with the Distinguished Flying Cross, multiple Air Medals, and the Legion of Merit, Colonel Woodhull’s life is a testament to dedication and courage.
And through it all, his lifelong partner in adventure, Anne, has been by his side every step of the way.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear firsthand from a true aviation legend!
