CAF Rise Above Exhibit


CAF Rise Above Traveling Exhibit

Through the support of local community sponsors and volunteers, The Commemorative Air Force (CAF) RISE ABOVE educational outreach program is proud to announce that their unique tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen and the WASPs (Women Air Force Service Pilots), is coming to The War Memorial June 5-8, 2024 and will be offered FREE to local schools, groups, families an individuals interested in coming to see it!

The fully functional mobile movie theater features two compelling original short RISE ABOVE films that tell the stories of the Tuskegee Airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), as well as, the obstacles they overcame to be able to fly and fight for their country during World War II. The films inspire children, in particular, to reach beyond their grasp to attain new levels of achievement, just like these pilots did.

This immersive experience is housed in a climate controlled 53’ semi-trailer with expandable sides and equipped with a ramp and hydraulic lift to ensure access to all, comfortably accommodating 30-40 visitors for each showing. Because of its dynamic 160-degree panoramic screen, the film creates the feeling of being in the cockpit soaring above the clouds. Admission to the exhibit is always FREE to event attendees.

RESERVATIONS are ENCOURAGED due to the limited seating of the theater and the times available for viewing. Make your reservation here: https://www.warmemorial.org/rise-above-exhibit or click the button below.
