The Tuskegee Airmen included pilots, navigators, bombardiers, maintenance and support staff, instructors, and all the personnel who kept the planes in the air. The program will start at 6:30 p.m. sharp. Seating is very limited and will be provided on a first-come, first-serve basis. The program is suitable for ages 9 and up. |
