If you are in SE Michigan, if you like warbirds, and especially if you are a brother, you should come. We have a few brothers in our club that flies red-tailed Mustangs together.

I think "brothers" is how African American males refer to one another. I think everyone who is intrigued by the history of Tuskegee Airmen in this area should not miss this opportunity.

I understand, I live in Mississippi. Some of my best friends are "brothers". I wish I could attend your fly-in. Post some pics afterwards for us. Take Care

Hi All
I'm not a brother, (although roomer has it we all are), but I recognize true greatness. I have had the good fortune of meeting four of these Pilots, Messers Foreman, Goodall, Senio, and Metler(or Melter, these are thier hand written signatures). They were kind enough to sign a poster I purchased from the Smithsonian called "TWO DOWN, ONE TO GO"/ "C.D. LESTER scoring 2 of three victories in one day".
One of my favorite in my collection of prints/posters.

I had the oppurtunity to talk with C. McGee (302nd Ftr.Sq) during the Festival of Flight in Fayettville NC. 2003. Wonderful gentleman to talk to! He gave me quit a history lesson on the group and there aircraft. I've gotten to meet other WWII vets, but he really talked candidly about his experiences. Would like to chat with him again, but may never get the chance.

Anybody who likes WWII aircraft is a brother.
I especially like Mustangs and really think those men were
true aviation Pioneers.
Also the movie is awsome!
