CAF Rise Above Exhibit

The fully functional mobile movie theater features two compelling original short films that tell the story of the Tuskegee Airmen or the Women Airforce Service Pilots, and the obstacles they both overcame to be able to fly and fight for their country during WWII. This immersive experience is housed in a climate controlled 53’ semi-trailer with expandable sides and equipped with a ramp and hydraulic lift to ensure access to all, comfortably accommodating 30-40 visitors for each showing. Because of its dynamic 160-degree panoramic screen, the film creates the feeling of being in the cockpit soaring above the clouds. Admission to the exhibit is always FREE to event attendees.

The unique and interactive RISE ABOVE® Traveling Exhibit tells the stories of the Tuskegee Airmen and Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) to audiences across the country in an experiential way. Our short original films showcase the Tuskegee Airmen or WASP’s stories as inspirational examples of how any one of us may be able to reach beyond our grasp to attain new levels of achievement, just like they did. The RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit allows these exciting stories to be delivered directly to audiences across America. Because it is a mobile theater, we are able to bring this unique experience directly to your air show, event or special location.

The exhibit schedule is Wednesday, June 5th from 9 a.m to 5 p.m.; Thursday, June 6th from noon to 7 p.m. (80th anniversary of D-Day) Friday, June 7th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; and Saturday, June 8th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
