WARNER ROBINS -- An original member of the Tuskegee Airmen will be a guest at a ribbon cutting of the exhibit Friday honoring the group.
Leroy Eley, who joined the Army Air Forces in 1943 at 17, will be at the ceremony, to start at 6 p.m. at the exhibit’s new home in the World War II hangar.
Eley, 84, is a New York native who now lives in Atlanta. He never went to war but did go on to serve as both a military and civilian flight instructor. He came to the museum Friday morning for a preview of the exhibit and to meet three Robins Air Force Base airmen who posed as Tuskegee Airmen in a mural for the exhibit.
