It's #MustangMonday! Last week, when we met with #WWII P-51 Pilot Elmer Pankratz, he signed the Gun Camera that will eventually be installed and fly in our Mustang #LucyGal. We're all about keeping these stories flying. #p51 #warbirds #rochesterny #wny #tuskegee #redtails

Deeply saddened to hear the Lt. Col. Harry Stewart has flown West. We only spoke with him 2 weeks ago. How lucky we have all been, to have Harry and other Tuskegee personnel to hear stories from for all these years. #redtails
