Keep 'em Flying! Help Preserve Living History.

 If you've ever seen the Dixie Wing's P-51 "Red Nose" in flight, then you'll never forget the signature scream of the engine as it flies low & fast over the runway. This plane is the very 1st plane purchase by the Commemorative Air Force in 1957 and a 64 year-old piece of living history.

The Dixie Wing and warbird fans need your help.

Time has taken it's toll on our P-51's engine. As a result, it won't fly again without a new engine. Now is your chance to re-launch history by contributing to our "Red Nose Engine" fund. We'll have opportunities for you to give at the Great Georgia Air Show October 10-11 or if you'd like to help right away, please call the Dixie Wing Hanger at (678) 364-1110 or email Col Jim Buckley, Wing Leader at sbdpilot@yahoo.com

Our Mission

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.
