History is more than just stories of our past. History reignites the memories of past events, and most importantly, the people of our past. The USAF has been a monumental force in our Nation’s story. The beginning of one such story takes us back to World War II; where the Red Tails began. The Tuskegee Airmen were the first all-black military flying unit in the United States. They faced many obstacles but became victorious. After the war, their efforts did not go unnoticed and Alabama flight units continue to pay homage.
The Red Tail Legacy encompasses the very meaning of “Innovate, Accelerate, and Thrive.” From the beginning flights of the “Red Tails” in the P51 Mustang to the F35, the advances in technology and ideas have led to the most extreme machines that still carry the honor of the Tuskegee Airmen.
Innovate— Each generation to enter into the USAF offers new ideas. The newest F35 jets feature some of the most advanced technology; leading the industry.
Accelerate— A sonic boom was once a dream; perhaps even an idea that could never exist. With the power of the USAF, these sonic blasts have become the standard with jet capabilities.
Thrive—The original “Red Tails” faced enormous obstacles; yet this did not deter them. In fact, they looked into the face of opposition and conquered it.
These “Red Tails” who were seen as insignificant, carried the World; and by it, became heroes of the Second World War.
