Ever Meet A Hero? Tuskegee Airmen

[pda4you]

A bit off topic - but had a great experience this Friday.

Met two of the remaining few Pilots from Tuskegee.....a dream come true.

Fascinating to talk to about flight experiences and life "then" in the Military. It was fantastic to meet these two American Heros..........

Most know the stories - in case you don't:

And I didn't get a call to go with you......why?

They had a big shin dig at the Gaylord just a couple of months ago.

I've never really liked the P-51 myself (activates force-field), but had to get one just for the red-tailed paint job. I am Canadian but still respect those guys very much. I'd call them "world heroes" as well as "american heroes"

Funny you should mention them.....
My personal tribute to these fine men; they deserve much, much more thanks than this.
