Otis Cowley Jr is one of the very few famed WWII "Red Tails" Tuskegee Airmen still living. Tomorrow's Aeronautical Museum in Compton, CA was fortunate to have him visit to view the recently acquired experimental Titan T-51 Mustang which is painted to match the plane he flew in WWII.
Otis went on to break a record by shooting down 4 North Korean MIGs in under 2 minutes in the Korean war.
The museum's mission is to expose underprivileged youth to aviation and teach them to fly in their affiliated flight school.
