Tuskeegee Airmen Convention



1. General H.H. Arnold
2. Benjamin O. Davis Jr.
3. World War II
4. Booker T. Washington

The Tuskeegee Airmen Convention was GREAT!
Being in the presence of actual Tuskeegee Airmen
made me feel like i was part of history.
First we went to an Airforce base
where we saw TONS of planes
from BIG to small.
from cargo to fighters.
we even saw a plane that had a gun attcached to the front
they said that the plane was made up of most of the gun
the gun even shot 1200 rounds per minute!!!!
we then heard a speech from a tuskeegee airmen.
he told us about his story and how he became an Airmen.
We then went to the actual convention.
we ate some BANGIN' food.
and we learned evn MORE about the Airmen.
we saw, met, ate with, and even took pictures with alive Airmen
Then we went and learned how to become a pilot.
then we had a FUN performance by a scientist
who mixed Hip-hop with his science experiments.
THAT WAS FUN!
Then we EVEN got to take a picture with the FIRST BLACK ASTOUNAUT!!!!!
all in all, that trip was OFF THE HOOK.
it made me interested in the career field of flying planes!
