Over 500 guests gathered at the Connecticut Convention Center on Friday, October 16, 2015 to honor Pratt & Whitney’s 90th Anniversary at a celebration hosted by the Connecticut Public. Attendees included Honorary Chairs Governor Dannel P. Malloy and First Lady Cathy Malloy, Airbus Americas President Barry Eccleston, and Pratt & Whitney’s Vice President of Engineering Thomas Prete. Guests were also given a preview of the upcoming CPBN documentary, Keys to the Sky, a program that explores how Frederick Rentschler and the people of Pratt & Whitney helped to create the modern aviation industry while building the best aircraft engines in the world.
Proceeds from the Pratt & Whitney 90th Celebration gala will benefit the third season of Made in Connecticut, another CPTV original documentary that explores modern manufacturing and the role of innovation in companies located and thriving right here in Connecticut.
