August 15th through Aug 17th, the Aviation Museum will bring in an historic P-51 Mustang fighter plane as part of ‘Rise Above,’ an inspirational traveling exhibit from the Commemorative Air Force that salutes the achievements of the Tuskegee Airmen as well as the WASP (Women’s Airforce Service Pilots) of World War II.
It’s the only appearance this year in the Northeast U.S. of this popular exhibit, which is designed to inspire young people with the legendary stories of how the Tuskegee Airmen and the Women’s Air Service Pilots overcame adversity in their time.
The Aviation Museum raised enough donations to cover all costs of this summer’s visit of the Commemorative Air Force ‘Rise Above’ visit and make it free to all to attend.
It’s a great way for families to learn about and remember the sacrifices of earlier generations of aviators—and might spark a young person’s interest in aviation and aerospace! Stay tuned for more info about the Commemorative Air Force ‘Rise Above’ touring exhibit. The exhibit is scheduled to be at the Aviation Museum of N.H. from Friday, Aug. 15 through Sunday, Aug. 17, 2025 as part of this year’s PlaneFest! celebration. More info coming soon! #aviationmuseumofnh #commemorativeairforce #tuskegeeairmen
