The Tuskegee Airman is the nickname for two separate all-black fighter units during WWII. The earliest incarnation was the 99th Pursuit Squadron. Eventually that unit was folded into the larger 332nd Fighter Group.
You're talking about literally hundreds of pilots and thousands of ground crew who served in those units. Not more than a handful of them died on any given day.
Currently over 100 pilots and 200 ground crewmen are still alive.
