Tuskegee Airmen Lee Archer meets Kermit Weeks and the P51 Mustang

Kermit Weeks, owner of Fantasy of Flight in Polk City, FL took on a P51 restoration project that resulted in an amazing replica of "Ina, The Macon Belle" - the aircraft flown by Tuskegee Airmen and P51 "Ace" Lee Archer. In this video, Lee gives some background on the Tuskegee Airmen and how he got to fly the P51. Kermit then shows Lee the restored aircraft in great detail.
