Aim high!

Believe in yourself!

Use your brain!

Never quit!

Be ready to go!

Expect to win!

At each stop of the RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit, we not only show the fantastic RISE ABOVE movie on our giant screen and woo our visitors with our historic P-51 Mustang, we strive to inspire everyone who walks through the exhibit to aim high and achieve their goals even if they are facing adversity.

The CAF Red Tail RISE ABOVE educational outreach program is based on 6 principles that represent the Tuskegee Airmen’s determination to succeed as aviators and Americans.  These principles, listed above, are found on the back of the commemorative Red Tail dog tags that are handed out to children who are part of an educational group or youth group accompanied by an adult at our events.

To be a Tuskegee Airmen it took determination, strength of character and hard work.  We continue our work to inspire the next generation to follow their dreams and never give up, no matter how hard the battle may be.

Lakefront Airport New Orleans, La. Cam2 030

This weekend we’ll be inspiring visitors at Turner Field through Sunday, June 2 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day as part of the inaugural Atlanta Braves Heritage Weekend.  In addition, the CAF’s P-51 Mustang will perform the flyover for the Friday, May 31st and Saturday, June 1st games.  If you’re at the stadium, please stop by and say hi, and don’t forget to look up!
