Our SNJ-5 Texan and PT-19A Cornell Both Fly in our Warbird Ride Program

Our CAF - Southern California Wing has now in full operation

a special program to introduce the public to the

thrilling realm of experiencing flight in an authentic warbird,

namely our North American SNJ-5 (AT-6) Texan and

our Fairchild PT-19A Cornell.

*************

For the price of $300 (for the enclosed-cockpit SNJ-5)

or $225 (for the open-cockpit PT-19A), you can reserve your flight,

or a flight for a loved one, with one of our highly qualified pilots

for a memorable 20 minute ride - perhaps

over the Ventura County coastline or

along the edge of our northern mountains.

Flights are scheduled on Saturdays,

depending upon the weather, and the availability of pilots.

To sign up for a ride in our Warbird Ride Program,

call (805) 482-0064 and tell the CAF member you want to ride in

an SNJ-5 Warbird.

We accept credit cards.

For you, or for your loved one, it will be the thrill of a lifetime!
Call us today at (805) 482-0064 to make your reservation.
