After 2 nights at Bluff Creek in Alabama and getting our mail in Georgetown Georgia, we drove around 60 miles to the town of Tuskegee in Alabama. There were 2 things in Mary’s passport book in the town.<\/p>\n
The vast majority of the roads were 2 lane state and county roads. The strange part was they were all posted at 45 mph.<\/p>\n
Tuskegee\u00a0is where, back in WWII, the government set up an air base to train black men how to be pilots and ground support for the aircraft.<\/p>\n
The Museum on the Tuskegee\u00a0Collage Campus, (Tuskegee Institute NHS) was closed. \u00a0So we headed to our second stop Tuskegee Airmen NHS at Moton Air Field which was about 4 miles away. The parking lot was on a small hill that overlooked the 2 hangers that the displays are housed in and the small airport is still used to teach flying, in small single planes. I don’t know if it’s a private training school or associated with the collage, but there were many planes practicing take offs and landings.<\/p>\n
Besides 2 air planes most of the displays were billboard types with a fair amount of reading.<\/p>\n
The End<\/p>\n\n\t\t
