A member of the Tuskegee Airmen celebrated his 100th birthday by taking a flight last Saturday. Retired Army Air Forces Col. Charles McGee flew a private jet Friday between Frederick, Maryland, and Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, news outlets reported. The Tuskegee Airmen is the nickname of the first African American unit to fly combat airplanes in World War II. McGee is one of the Air Force’s most celebrated pilots. He flew 409 fighter combat missions over three wars. McGee, who turned 100 on Saturday, attributes positive thinking to his longevity. Take a look at this beautiful photo gallery.
