Pearl, The Movie is now in stock at LebanAir! Mar 24

The true story of a spirited Chickasaw daredevil whose young life in 1928 rural Oklahoma suddenly changes one Sunday afternoon. The soon-to-become famous Wiley Post lands his plane in her father’s field, and a brief joyride through the clouds ignites the girl’s passion for flight. Pearl Carter’s thirst for thrills has found an outlet.

Mentored by Post and supported by her resolute father, George, Sr., Pearl demonstrates that she has the courage and composure of a true pilot. Soon, the 12-year-old sits at the controls of a brand new Curtiss-Robin, soars with the best flight instructor available and has a landing strip for a backyard. While everyone in town is amazed, not all are delighted about Pearl’s unconventional exploits. At first, her dangerous new interest troubles Lucy, Pearl’s strong, forbearing Chickasaw mother. Opaletta, the Carters’ eldest daughter, is aggrieved by the disproportionately close relationship her father shares with Pearl. In fact, Opal’s reaction to the situation influences Pearl’s choice in an important decision years later.

In the meantime, 14-year-old Pearl pilots her father and other businessmen all over the state but, for the young adventurer, these trips grow stale. After being awarded her student pilot permit (a couple of years earlier than allowed by the Federal Aviation Administration!), Pearl launches headfirst into a barnstorming career. Her local celebrity status shoots skyward, and Pearl continues to pursue her dream against the backdrop of the deepening Depression and catastrophic Dust Bowl, both of which took their tolls on the family business.

Pearl comes of age and finds love, which sends her priorities into a tailspin. Then, as a young wife and mother, her two greatest passions collide, her closest relationships are jeopardized, and the thrill-seeking daredevil comes face to face with reality.

–Synopsis by Donna Carlton, Head Writer: “Pearl”

OPA Meeting & Movie Night @ LebanAir – Mar 15, 6pm Mar 13

It’s time for our monthly OPA meeting again. We will meet in the newly remodeled meeting/class room at LebanAir Aviation for our usual very short business meeting, followed by our potluck & movie.

Tuesday, March 15, at 6:00pm.


This month’s movie will be Pearl. No, not Peal Harbor….Pearl Carter Scott. The true story of the youngest licensed pilot in American history. You will love this film. Come join us! :)

Beautifully filmed, impeccably portrayed, the feature film “Pearl”, a production of the Chickasaw Nation, brings to life the endearing story of Pearl Carter Scott – Chickasaw aviatrix.

Elijah DeJesus, in her first lead role, brings Pearl into being for the film audience. A spunky 12 year old Pearl soars as she befriends world renowned pilot Wiley Post, which introduces her to a love for flying and to becoming the youngest pilot in American aviation history.

Raised in the late 1920′s in Marlow, Oklahoma, Pearl encountered her share of obstacles. This Chickasaw girl rises above adversity, takes on responsibility and, with the guidance of her father, holds fast to her ‘never give up’ attitude.

The feature film, ‘Pearl’ is a welcoming breath of fresh air for audiences of all ages. The story of Pearl Carter Scott is one worth telling, as it is inspiring, heartfelt and true to the character of Pearl.

This film is sure to spur encouragement in the hearts and minds of its viewers. No matter ones age, or background, Pearl reminds us of the resilience, determination and drive we all have within us – that dreams are possible when you ‘never give up’.
