Homecoming at the Capital Wing is just one in over 15 events that the CAF
Capital Wing will participate in this year.  The mission of the Capital
Wing is to honor those who have served, educate the public, and inspire the
next generation of aviators.

The CAF 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 select 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, recreates,
remind and reinforce the lessons learned from the defining moments in
American military aviation history. A 501(c)3 non-profit educational
organization, the CAF has more than 13,000 volunteer members and a fleet of
165 airplanes distributed throughout the country to 76 CAF units for care
and operation.  There are also four international affiliates in France,
Switzerland, New Zealand, and Australia. For more information, visit
