Membership
Join the Wing.Room for You.
You don’t need to be a veteran, pilot, or mechanic. Just a love of history and an interest in our military aviation past.
The wing already flies its own PT-26 Cornell. Every new Colonel adds more hands to crew and care for the aircraft, more living-history programs, and a stronger CAF presence in the Pacific.
What Is a CAF Colonel?
Since 1957, every full member of the CAF has carried the honorary title of Colonel. It is a tradition from the organization’s founding, shared by aircraft sponsors, mechanics, teachers, retirees, and students alike. Membership supports the operation of the world’s largest flying museum and opens the door to hands-on history: aircraft crews, flying programs, and education outreach.
