WOL at Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum 10 AM - 3 PM on 9 FEB 08
Submitted by Richard Hall on Tue, 2008-01-22 19:58.Each year the Air and Space Museum hosts a "Family Day" event in February - Black History Month. Way of Life Alumni AF Academy grads will man an informational table and speak with museum visitors about the :Academy Experience. Tuskegee Airmen Inc members are scheduled special Family Day guests (original Tuskegee Airmen are featured speakers for a Q&A session). It will be a fun event and WOL participation last year put our Way of Life Alumni Group on the list of potential invitees for Air and Space Museum events. You do not have to spend the entire day! Some grads spent a couple of hours last year. We just ensured we had at least 5-6 grads throughout the event.

WOL Air Force Pilot Development Committee
Submitted by aerokeny on Tue, 2007-08-07 02:05.
Welcome to the WOL Air Force Pilot Development Committee website. The AFPD committee serves as WOL’s focal point for issues relating to and development as an Air Force pilot. We invite you to join the committee as we have “open membership” – meaning that you don’t need to be an USAF Academy graduate, on active duty, or even a pilot for that matter to be on the committee. If you are interested in taking an active part in promoting minority pilot issues, we ask you to join this committee. The success of this committee is fully dependent upon your involvement as we share our knowledge, experience, successes and failures to help each of us become better skilled aviators and officers; the committee primarily functions through the network and mentoring that takes place through its members. Please see below for more detailed information about the Air Force Pilot Development Committee and how you can get involved.
