Ricardo Khan credits an accidental meeting, a picture on a wall and an amazing family connection with the inspiration to tell the story of the Tuskegee Airmen in “Fly,” the heartwarming drama he directs at Ford’s Theatre. The meeting was with his co-playwright, Trey Ellis, at a family gathering. He had not known that Ellis, a screen writer, and his brother were good friends.
