Tuskegee airman up for honorary promotion!


BETHESDA – It has been several decades since retired Col. Charles McGee flew his last mission. However, the 99-year-old Tuskegee airman still talks about it as if it was yesterday.

“I fell in love with flying on my first flight; just to be able to loop, roll and spin and then come back and put my feet on the ground,” he said, while sitting in his Bethesda living room, decorated almost entirely with his medals, replicas of the planes he flew and his many awards and citations. 

McGee flew 409 combat missions during World War II, the Korean conflict and Vietnam. He served in leadership positions and was the first African American to command a stateside Air Force Wing and Base.

New Pensacola Bay Bridge on track to be named for Air Force Gen. Daniel ‘Chappie’ James

Picture
EGLIN AFB — When the new $427 million Pensacola Bay Bridge opens in 2021, it’s all but certain that it will carry the name of Air Force Gen. Daniel “Chappie” James, who grew up in Pensacola before embarking on his noteworthy military career, which included becoming the Air Force’s first African-American four-star general in 1975.

Also during his distinguished career, James was a flight instructor with the Tuskegee Airmen, the first black pilots in what was then the U.S. Army Air Forces. He earned three Distinguished Flying Crosses, one for actions during the Korean War and two more for actions during the Vietnam War. He flew 101 combat missions in Korea and 78 combat missions in Vietnam.  Read complete article at NFYDailyNews.com
