Spire Employee Volunteers Build Jet Platform

Employees lend skills, build platform for historic fighter jet

In late July 2024, Spire employees spent time volunteering and building a platform for a historic fighter jet – the F/A-18 E1, which was the first Super Hornet ever produced. After many years away from Missouri, the jet was brought back to the area and arrived at The National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis in December 2023. At the time, it was unassembled. Now, it proudly sits assembled at the Museum.

We had a productive workday with an energetic team of socially-distanced volunteers from Spire! Together the small group cleared a trail through the Museum rain garden and mulched trees along the main garden walk.
Thank you, Spire!

One of our pollinators took to a volunteer’s hat and perched thereupon. This was not photoshopped–just a great affirmation of the joy our volunteers bring to guests of all kinds!
