Stage view at the beginning of panel discussion. Since many of the members of Tuskegee Airmen Incorporated (TAI) older members do not frequent social media sites, we relied on traditional means of marketing, via email newsletters, mailer's, phone calls and face to face grass-roots marking to pull off this event. Since, TAI is a large organization that houses thousands of members and large chapters the promotion was steady and slow with 6 months of planning and organizing with the Anderson Estate. We laid out reasonable bench marks and was able to draw a good crowd for the event capturing young and old supporters of the Tuskegee Airmen.

Chief Anderson's son Charles Anderson Jr. greeting fellow aviators and friends who trained by Chief Anderson at the ROTC at Tuskegee University. He trained may pilots of all races and demographics, never discriminating or showing favoritism. Chief Anderson trained hundreds of FAA, foreign pilots, private pilots, military aviator's and civilians until his death in 1996. He was most happy training young people who were fascinated with flying as he was.
