On Saturday, August 14, the sky over the Schaumburg (IL) airport was filled with the unmistakable sound of the Rolls Royce Merlin engine. The CAF Red Tail Project had brought its P-51C Mustang to town in partnership with Fighter Pilots USA which sponsored a ride-along event featuring the Mustang. The purpose of the event was to raise money for the Project’s next ambitious project, a traveling exhibit about the group of WWII aviators known as the Tuskegee Airmen. They were the first black military pilots and many of them flew red-tailed fighters like the Mustang in the skies over Africa and Europe. The Tuskegee Airmen’s story of courage and persistence as they learned to fly and fight for an America that embraced racism and segregation is one that the CAF Red Tail Project has been telling since 2001. The traveling exhibit will allow the Project to show people what the Airmen did and that their contributions were so important.
