By · ·

DEFUNIAK SPRINGS, Fla. – The April 10-11 Marvel of Flight at DeFuniak Springs Airport (54J) suffered some weather setbacks, but still attracted solid crowds last weekend.

The Rise Above Traveling Exhibit taught nearly 700 area students the history of the Tuskegee Airmen. Everything else took place at the airport. A few photos from the festivities.
