Return of the Red Tail

As I mentioned in the Five at 8 post this morning, the red-tailed P-51 Mustang, which crashed in Red Wing, killing pilot Don Hinz years ago, returned to South St. Paul’s Fleming Field today after years of restoration by the Red Tail Project. It’s a traveling piece of history to educate people about the Tuskegee Airmen.

I didn’t make it out to the ceremony this afternoon, but I happened to be standing by the runway Wednesday evening when it went out for its evening constitution with its hangar mate.
