A traveling exhibit on the Tuskegee Airmen sets up shop this week on the grounds of the State Capitol.
The exhibit tells the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, African-American fighter pilots who broke racial barriers in World War II.
It's a remarkable piece of aviation history, and a great way to kick off a week of shows about flight on The Daily Circuit.
We caught up with Airman Harold Brown, who grew up in Minneapolis, and Tim Barzan, a volunteer for the Commemorative Air Force and one of the organizers of the exhibit.
