The EAA AirVenture Museum commemorates a historic era in
military aviation and welcomes a special new aircraft for display
during a "Salute to Tuskegee Airmen" on Wednesday, February 25. The
aircraft, a North American T-6 trainer on long-term loan from a
private owner in Delaware, is especially significant because it is
just one of two T-6 aircraft known to exist that were used by the
Tuskegee Airmen, the African-American pilots who battled
discrimination to become one of the top American flying units in
the European Theater. EAA will also welcome two original Tuskegee
Airmen, Richard Macon and Robert Martin, to the museum for a
special presentation on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in the
museum’s Eagle Hangar.
