Our Mission
The CAF Dixie Wing Historical Air Power Facility
The Commemorative Air Force was founded to acquire, restore and preserve in flying condition a complete collection of combat aircraft which were flown by all military services of the United States, and selected aircraft of other nations, for the education and enjoyment of present and future generations of Americans.
More than just a collection of airworthy warplanes from the past, the CAF's fleet of historic aircraft, known as the CAF Ghost Squadron, recreate, remind and reinforce the lessons learned from the defining moments in American military aviation history.
The Dixie Wing was approved as the 83rd CAF unit on February 28, 1987, and has since displayed its collection of vintage World War II aircraft in numerous air shows throughout the Southeast. The wing is a non-profit, tax-exempt "flying museum" that depends on contributions of time and funds to carry out its mission.
The Dixie Wing is at EAA AirVenture this week!

The Wing had a recent visitor for a few days to shoot a movie!
This rare P-40 was recently restored and was supplied compliments of Don Brooks. It was paired with our own Dixie Wing Colonel Jack Van Ness' Japanese Zero replica - a veteran movie plane!
The planes were filmed for a documentary on Col. Robert Scott, author of "God is my Co-Pilot". When we have more information on the film, we will update everyone.
On the flight line...
Look at that nose!
What a beautiful restoration!
As a true veteran of combat - this P-40 was trying to take a bite out of the Japanese Kate even in the hanger!
