Red Tail Cadets

Cadets from the Red Tail Cadet Program (RTCP) visited STL this week for a tour. One of the stops included the airport’s fire department. Students from the Ferguson-Florissant School District are selected to participate in a six-week, residential, immersive flight-training experience, designed to introduce them to the aviation industry with the ultimate goal of setting them on the path towards a career in aviation. The RTCP honors the heroic legacy of young African-American pilots, Tuskegee Airman, who fought in WWII.
