CAF AIRSHO 2014



The 51st Annual AIRSHO is a little over a month away and we couldn't be more excited.



Colonels, it is time to pre-register for AIRSHO! When you arrive in Midland, you just pick up a packet at the Colonel Registration trailer and you are set.



Make sure to check out the Fighter Squadron Chalet and PrimeView this year.  Those are the best seats on the flightline! And Colonels have special discounted rates. Have questions about these or a private chalet? Call Gena at (432) 563-1000 or email her at glinebarger@cafhq.org.



This year's acts include a new act called "Dracula, The Rise of Vacul," according to a news release, along with the Red Tail Squadron RISE ABOVE traveling exhibit, and other regular attractions including FIFI, the world's only flying B-29.





Several hotels are offering special AIRSHO rates for CAF members. To see all available local hotels, please visit the accommodations page at AIRSHO.org.

CAF Atlanta Warbird Weekend



The Atlanta Warbird Weekend is a first-time project between two Wings of the CAF; Airbase Arizona and the Dixie Wing bases in Peachtree City, GA..



The event is dedicated to the remembrance and celebration of the men, women and machines of the Greatest Generation. In metro Atlanta, there are significant historical aviation resources, and the event aspires to be the catalyst to bring together the organizations, aircraft and people that keep this history alive, and so engage the public and businesses to preserve the spirit of our shared past.
