I am a retired 31 year USAF E7/ Master Sergeant . I was at GML 2007, Gathering of Mustangs and Legends in Columbus, Ohio, and they had a long trailer with a large number of Tuskegee Airman driving by the crowd and it made me cry with pride knowing what these fine men went through and what they overcame and accomplished in life ! GOD Bless each one of them !!! SUCH HEROES ! Our Unit back in January 1957 WVANG 167th FG retired the Mustang and was the very last USAF Unit to fly the P-51 Mustang. My Dad was a member of our Unit in 1950 during the Korean War and was activated to active duty with our Mustangs. When growing up Mustangs flew over our house all the time from our Unit, my favorite aircraft of all time ! When I retired I ran our C-130H Phase Inspection Dock and as an old C-119 Air Crew Member and C-130 Troop I can say this is one of the most pristine Mustang restorations I have ever seen ! Just Absolutely Beautiful, Well Done !
This story is very inspirational. I've known about the Tuskegee Airmen for a while, but this story has touched me. It is a testament to exceptional people who respect history and are dedicated to keeping it alive. Please do not let any individuals or groups try to destroy this history.
Devastating crash for that family. I said "Needs a chiplight" when I heard the analysis. I'm glad that's what the presenter was getting at and that there's an option for those engines now.
I've met this beautiful lady up close in 2012 at Sun'N Fun. At the time I was also involved in a Mustang restoration in The Netherlands, sweet memories.
Such a great story. This is a very honorable tribute to then and now. To those who never gave up. Thank you for keeping the dream alive. One and all. CHEERS
