God is My Co-Pilot (1945) returns to The Grand Opera House!
In 1936 the Grand was turned into a movie house, and the first floor boxes were torn out. On March 15, 1945, the only world premiere of a major motion picture held in Macon was at the Grand with the screening of God is My Co-Pilot.
Col. Robert L. Scott is an adept fighter pilot who unfortunately finds himself too old to fly fighter planes in World War II. Assigned to India, he later meets Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chennault, who commands the famous “Flying Tigers” squadron in China. Chennault finally allows Scott to learn combat flying techniques on an obsolete training plane. Scott is so good that Chennault gives him his wish — he will fly combat missions with the Tigers.
General admission is just $5, with a full bar and light concession available. For those of you who mention the Museum of Aviation (they have a God Is My Co-Pilot exhibit), you will receive a discount on your ticket!
