Andrews Air Force Base Visit
The “Spirit of Tuskegee” landed safely at Andrews Air Force Base, MD on August 2, 2011 after a month long, cross-country journey from Beale Air Force Base, CA.
Since then the plane has been taken to the National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center where it will be restored closer to its original 1944 construction by Smithsonian collections specialists. The plane will go on exhibition at the Udvar-Hazy Center in 2012 as part of its World War II section and on display at the National Museum of African American History and Culture when the museum opens in 2015.
