The Commemorative Air Force (CAF) is an all-volunteer organization, with members from all walks of life, dedicated to preserving the history of combat aircraft which were flown by all military services of the United States. The CAF is a non-profit, privately funded and totally self-supporting 501 (c)3 organization.

Our CAF aircraft fly!! 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!

The CAF aircraft throughout the U.S. perform before nearly 10,000,000 spectators every year, recalling the hard-won victories of Americans and other freedom-loving people around the world during the years between 1939 and 1945.

The Southern California Wing, CAF was formed in March, 1981, and now has 350+ members. It has been a struggle against time, red tape and indifferent government policies, but our volunteers find their participation very rewarding, satisfying, and a lot of fun!

The Wing holds an Open House during most summer holiday weekends. Fund raisers and social events are held during the year as well.

The Wing is actively involved in air shows - primarily in the Western United States.
