CAF Red Tail Squadron Announces Spring Season

RISE ABOVE Will Tour The Eastern U.S. Before Heading Across The Country Later This Year

The Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Red Tail Squadron, America’s tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen, has announced their RISE ABOVE Red Tail spring schedule of outreach events that will take them to several spots in the eastern U.S., before their tour heads across the country in the summer and fall. Their mission is to educate audiences everywhere about the history and legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen – America’s first black military pilots and their support personnel – and each event is a platform to share this inspirational message.

Although the P-51C Mustang Tuskegee Airmen will most likely not be on tour the remainder of the year after an incident earlier in February, the CAF Red Tail Squadron, along with support from other CAF aircraft and Mustang operators, will maintain their full schedule of events with their RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit. This mobile panoramic movie theater features the original film “Rise Above,” an immersive experience that creates the feeling of being in the cockpit and soaring above the clouds in a P-51C. It is a visually compelling and exciting way to learn about the Tuskegee Airmen’s triumph over adversity.

The spring 2015 event schedule includes:

  • Dallas – until February 17, CAF National Airbase
  • Tallahassee, Fla. – February 22-27, Tallahassee Airport
  • Sarasota, Fla. – March 2-6, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport With the CAF AirPower History Tour
  • Titusville, Fla. – March 11-13, TICO Warbird Airshow
  • Tampa, Fla. – March 19-20, Tampa Bay AirFest
  • Miami, Fla. – March 24-27, Wings Over Miami Air Museum
  • Lakeland, Fla. – April 5-10, SUN ‘n FUN International Fly-In
  • Alcoa, Tenn. – April 16-17, Smoky Mountain Air Show,
  • Clinton, Tenn. – April 19-20, Green McAdoo Cultural Center
  • Oak Ridge, Tenn. – April 22-23, Museum of Science and Energy
  • Cherry Point, N.C. – April 30-May 1, MCAS Cherry Point Air Show
  • Lynchburg, Va. – May 21-22, Lynchburg Regional Airshow
  • Reading, Pa. – June 3-5, Mid Atlantic Air Museum WWII Weekend
  • Greenfield, Ind. – June 17-18, CAF Warbird Expo

Events are subject to change, and more are being added. For updated and detailed information, visit the group’s calendar at redtail.org/calendar. Entrance to the RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit is always free, although tickets may be required for entry to individual events.

While on tour, the RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit makes additional visits to area schools where students are encouraged to think critically about the group’s Six Guiding Principles – Aim High, Believe In Yourself, Use Your Brain, Be Ready To Go, Never Quit and Expect to Win.
