Help a Friend in Need

One of our own suffered a complete loss of home and property to the devastating recent California fires.

Help our family take care of one of our own by donating to the Go Fund Me page we’ve setup for him and his family.

Don has been a member at CAFSoCal for many years. Like most of our volunteers, he’s the quiet type who shows up and gets the job done without much fanfare.

You know the type. The kind of guy that makes organizations like ours successful.

So you may not have seen him in the pictures and videos we post, or have heard us mention his name much. And we don’t even have an emotional picture of his property loss to tug at your heart strings (the one on the GoFundMe page is a stock image).

But here’s our chance to say “Thank You” when it really matters.

Please pitch in to the fund raising campaign and help Don and his Family get back on their feet.

Every dollar counts.

Thank you!

5th Annual Aviation Career Day

The 2018 Aviation Career Day held at the Camarillo Airport and the CAF hangars was a fantastic event.

We were once again thrilled to have the Ventura County Ninety Nines, VC Career Education Center, VC Dept or Airports, CP Aviation and the California Aeronautical University, to name just a few of the participants hold this annual event at our hangars.

High school and middle school students from Ventura County were in attendance to explore the possibilities of a future in the aviation industry. Just look at the joy in our good friend Si Robin in the images below to get a sense of what this event means to us.

We are already looking forward to the 2019 edition of this fun event!

Visit their Facebook page for further information.
