Red Tail Squadron – A tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen

[/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1547735285639{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]The CAF Red Tail Squadron is committed to telling the inspirational story of the Tuskegee Airmen, America’s first black military pilots and their support personnel. The mission of the CAF Red Tail Squadron is to educate people of all ages about the Tuskegee Airmen so their strength of character and ability to triumph over adversity may serve as a means to inspire others to rise above obstacles in their own lives and achieve their goals. The P-51C Mustang used for the project was restored initially in 2001, more than 45 years after it had been in service, complete with the group’s distinct red tail and aptly named the Tuskegee Airmen. It is a museum without walls, bringing the story of the Tuskegee Airmen coast to coast.
