Did you know the heart and soul of our mission is our education outreach programs? The CAF Red Tail Squadron works to bring our inspirational message to many different communities, traveling almost non-stop to air shows and other events, all to foster interest in the history and story of the Tuskegee Airmen.

There are several occasions though when groups cannot come to see us at one of our scheduled events. But that’s certainly not the end of the road, or more appropriately, the runway! We regularly make stops at “off-tarmac” venues like schools and museums for students and others in the community to learn from our RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit first-hand.

It’s easy. All you have to do to book the RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit is shoot us an email or give us a call. Put in your request now to get the best slots available! Contact Marvona at marvona@redtail.org or 812-240-2560.

 

 

 

The CAF Red Tail Squadron is volunteer-driven 501c3 organization that operates as part of the Commemorative Air Force. For more information about the Squadron and its educational mission, visit www.redtail.org.
