Tuskegee Airmen In St. Paul Today
I caught some of this on KFAN this morning. I believe it was Mr. Hopson who was speaking. He recited much of the rich history of the Tuskegee Airmen, highlighting both the obstacles these dedicated heroes had to overcome and the successes they achieved. The fighter escort units of the Tuskegee Airmen were so disciplined and effective that they were frequently requested by white bomber units. Mr. Hopson gave a lot of credit to the more unsung members of the units, the maintenance crews, munitions crews and other support staff who went to tremendous lengths to keep the planes in the air on time and ready for combat.The Tuskegee Airmen are in town to kick off their 2006 fundraiser to preserve history through the restoration of one of their red-tailed P51-C aircraft.
To donate, get directions, view pictures of the restoration in progress and read to more about the historic units of the Tuskegee Airmen visit:

From the site:
Several of the original Tuskegee Airmen (Kenneth Wofford, Joe Gomer and Vern Hopson) will be honored guests February 1st at the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Hangar at Fleming Field in South St. Paul, MN. Join us as KFAN’s (AM 1130), Mike Morris and Chris Hawkey will broadcast live from 6AM – 9AM. Followed by Al Malmberg & Jack Rice (live from studio) of WCCO Radio 830 from 12PM – 3PM. This event is the 2006 fundraiser kickoff for the Red Tail Project (RTP). The Tuskegee Airmen were among the nearly 1,000 young black men who fought both racial prejudice and the German Luftwaffe in the famed 332nd fighter group, known for the distinctive “Red Tails” on the aircraft they flew so proudly. Joel Brown a member of the WWII Historical Reenactment Society presents a Living History Display complete with authentic WWII uniform and flying gear. At Joel Brown’s 332nd Fighter Group HQ you’ll find books, posters and trading cards. “Keeping the history alive of the famed Tuskegee Airmen.”
If you have time, run out to Fleming Field and check it out. Wish I could get away from work.
