| Education
|
Friday May 26th will
be Education Day,
Media Day and set-up. We will be soliciting
schools in the area to make the Air
Show a field trip destination.
Veterans will tell, in their own
words, what it was like for them to
serve their country. The program will
cover events from WWII to the present
based on speakers’ experiences
and availability.

| Tribute
to Tuskegee Airmen |
| The Tuskegee
Airmen were the first African Americans
to be trained as WWII Military pilots
in the U.S. Army Air Corps. This was
a time when being black was more of
a crime then being the enemy. Never
in our nations' history has the idea
of enemy lines been so blurred or has
patriotism been so clearly defined. |
