The CAF was founded to acquire, restore and preserve in flying condition a complete collection of combat aircraft which were flown by all military services of the United States, and selected aircraft of other nations, for the education and enjoyment of present and future generations of Americans.
More than just a collection of airworthy warplanes from the past, the CAF's fleet of historic aircraft, known as the CAF Ghost Squadron, recreate, remind and reinforce the lessons learned from the defining moments in American military aviation history, from World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.
Each year more Americans see them, touch their metal, smell their exhaust smoke, and listen to the ROAR of their piston engines than visit static displays of all other aviation museums combined! Their F8F Bearcat puts on an amazing aerobatic display. Their incredibly rare F6F Hellcat and Japanese Zero dogfight act is a sight to see. Soon their Spitfire Mk XIV will roar to life and fly in airshows throughout the country.
They have an ever-growing museum of World War II aviation artifacts and displays, along with an aviation library.
Another offering is the Warbird Ride Program. See website for details and fees.
Volunteers are at the hangars working on our aircraft on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays - from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
