Come see us in Terrell, Texas today through Sunday!

The RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit mobile movie theater is the featured guest at the No. 1 British Flying Training School Museum, located at the Terrell Municipal Airport at 119 Silent Wings Blvd. in Terrell. The event is FREE and admission to the Museum is also FREE! Bring your friends and family!

The No. 1 British Flying Training School Museum was the first and largest of the training sites for British pilots during World War II. More than 2,000 Royal Air Force and U.S. Army Air Force pilots earned their wings after training in the skies over Terrell between 1941 and 1945. This gem is an important piece of World War II history, just a short drive from downtown Dallas!

Head on out to see our inspirational and educational film “Rise Above” inside our panoramic mobile movie theater and say hello to our team on site! We are always so happy to meet our supporters in person and hear about what makes YOU enthusiastic about the Tuskegee Airmen experience and sharing it with others.

Want to schedule a time for your group? No problem. Call (972) 551-1122 to reserve your slot.

See you in Terrell!

The CAF Red Tail Squadron is a volunteer-driven organization dedicated to educating audiences across the country about the history and legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen, America’s first black military pilots and their support personnel. Learn more at www.redtail.org.
