Event

The CAF Southern California Wing will be selling rides in our P-51 Man’ O’ War at the Planes of Fame Airshow in Chino.

If a ride in the P51 Mustang has been on your wish list and you couldn’t make it to our hangars in Camarillo, here’s your chance to make that dream come true and save a few bucks too!

Rides will be available on Friday the 29th prior to airshow practice and immediately following practice, as well as  in the morning prior to the show and immediately after the show on April 30th and May 1st.

You can purchase your ride at the “Rides Tent” during the event at Chino for $1,195 or reserve your spot at a savings of $100 off with an advance purchase at $1,095 by calling our museum 805-482-0064

Rides will be approximately 12 minutes long and will take you over the airfield so you can look down and view the WWII warbirds and other aircraft that will be participating in the Air Show.   It is a sight to behold!

We anticipate a high volume of participants and encourage you to reserve your ride in advance by calling the museum. This is an opportunity not to be missed.

Our New Hangar is progressing nicely.  Electrical is almost complete. Framing of work areas and bathrooms is progressing nicely. Stay tuned for further updates and a date for the dedication ceremony.

The Commemorative Air Force has organized a fundraising campaign for some worthy Warbirds.

CAF SoCal is pleased to have had two of our aircraft chosen for this effort.

Mentors West Fly-in & Veterans Salute
5-8 November, 2015

Following Thursday afternoon arrivals at the CAF SoCal ramp, Friday and Saturday flying will focus on 2/3/4 ship formation training, to include T-34, CJ and T-6 aircraft, culminating in a mass formation fly over of Santa Barbara on Sunday.  Briefings will be held for registered participants each morning at 7:30 a.m. in the annex and flight operations will occur from 8:30 a.m. until dusk on Friday and Saturday.  Sunday’s briefings will take place in the museum hangar as we expect many more aircraft and pilots.  We believe Sunday’s event will be one of the largest fly-overs for a Veterans Day parade anywhere in the United States.  Last year we had 20 aircraft, including a P-51, multiple T-34’s, Nanchang’s, Yaks, a B-25 and a C-47. This year it looks as though we may have up to 40 aircraft.  Please see http://kcma-mentor-gathering.webs.com for more details.
