THEY FLEW THEN,
SO YOU CAN FLY NOW

The Tuskegee Airmen National Historical Museum is the dream of many individuals to capture the history of the exceptional aviators known as the Tuskegee Airmen – the first all African American fighter pilot squadron. The museum looks back to honor the Tuskegee Airmen while recognizing the importance of looking forward to inspire the next generation of aviators.

Education will be key to our future. Investing in aviation and aerospace education for youth will create a new generation of pilots, air traffic controllers, technicians, welders and astronauts. There will be no other learning center like this in Southeast Michigan.
