Thumbs up Eighty-six Years Old And Still Flying High!

An octogenarian member of the famous Tuskegee Airmen of World War II is proving that he still has the right stuff! As a matter of fact, this flier is even taking it a step further by journeying to Iraq along with other members of this famed old (literally) flying group in the near future!

Tuskegee, famous for training the Black P-51 Pilots who blazed their way into history over six decades ago, was also famous for a series of infamous experiments involving venereal diseases. Experiments that were conducted without the knowledge or consent of those who were so victimized! (Nothing New Here!)

However, I think that you would find the article contained in the site listed below very interesting and informative. These men, the gallant men of the Tuskegee Unit, are still proving that age is not the test of a real man. It is what resides inside that makes a man, and this never fades away, not even under the strains of time!!
