The Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. is a Non-Profit organization whose goals are to perpetuate the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen through historical research, documentations and presentations.
Another important goal of the TAI is to motivate youth toward aviation and aerospace careers and inspire them towards outstanding achievement and leadership in our democratic society.

The TAI 2011 National Convention will be the launch of a new initiative to develop the next generation of Tuskegee Airmen. Funds raised during the convention planning and execution will be used to expand Youth in Aviation Programs.
