Lunch to Follow
Education Center Changes
The Tuskegee Airman display is moving to the Education Center. This is a work in progress. As this display transforms it is adding a bright splash of color to the Education Center. Stop by often to see the progress. 
We have grown tremendously. Least we forgot our beginnings. As part of “News at the Wing” I look forward to learning and sharing the Wing’s history. From our nomadic start to today. 
Preserving Wing History 
A standard in the Education Center since it was built the picture shown here is of the Heart of America Wing as the hangar was being completed in May, 2000. Currently the picture is in storage to be returned to display after the Tuskegee display is completed. We have grown tremendously. Least we forgot our beginnings. As part of “News at the Wing” I look forward to learning and sharing the Wing’s history. From our nomadic start to today.
