This page is dedicated to promoting the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen Experience and the programs and activities for youth sponsored by the Chicago Chapter of Tuskegee Airmen. March 22, 2016 marked the 75th Anniversary of the activation of the U.S. Army Air Corps 99th Pursuit Squadron, America’s first black combat aviation unit. This unit was comprised of pilots and support personnel who were init

ially trained at Chanute Field, (Rantoul) IL. The summer of 2016 also marks the 40th Anniversary of the Chicago “DODO” Chapter of Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. Thanks to support & donations received from the community, since 1994 CDCTAI programs have reached over 14,000 youth through its Young Eagles, Gary Flight Academy and other aviation programs. Also, over 100 students have been recipients of the college scholarships awarded by CDCTAI since 2004 and another group of young people, exponentially larger than the first two have been positively impacted through our mentoring and outreach programs. Too few youth, especially those in at risk communities never dare to” dream the impossible dream” of pursuing careers in aviation, engineering, technology and the sciences.
