MISSION STATEMENT
A tribute flight to honor early pioneers of Black aviation, Captain Lee Owens will become the first African-American to circumnavigate the globe in a replica of the ‘Red Tail’ P-51 made famous escorting bombers over Europe. This flight is meant to remind America’s youth of the great achievements of the Great African-American aviators and to support aviation education. The mission of the Lee Owens Foundation is to educate aspiring minorities about the opportunities in aviation and to provide scholarships to those interested in the field of aviation.
