Memphis Blackhawks History
Created 1994
The Memphis Blackhawks was formed in 1994,
it’s primary objective is to target under-privileged
urban and inner city youth who are in desperate
need of clear direction and positive role models in
their lives. It is our mission to accomplish this
goal by carefully selecting and exposing those
young men and women to all aspects of the
aviation industry.
