Then we’ll make our way over to Owosso, Michigan the following weekend to offer rides on Saturday June 21st and Sunday June 22nd at the Train Expo 2014 – Locomotives, Wings and Wheels. You can also find us there with our RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit!

Your experience will include a backseat ride in our P-51C Mustang for a 30-minute flight with a certified vintage aircraft pilot, giving you a unique perspective on what this aircraft meant during the time it was used in combat in WWII.

Our Tuskegee Airmen aircraft – the P-51C Mustang that is the hallmark of the CAF Red Tail Squadron – is a magnificent piece of flying historyNot only will your heart leap at the distinct sound of the Rolls Royce engine, but you will be stepping back in time to an era when the hard-working Tuskegee Airmen dared to RISE ABOVE adversity in order to fight for our freedoms. Learn how this particular aircraft was born, lived and was resurrected to serve as a tool to spread the message of the Tuskegee Airmen. Come excited, leave inspired!
