Commemorative Air Force Dixie Wing

The Georgia chapter of the Commemorative Air Force (CAF), the CAF Dixie Wing was granted a Provisional Charter on February 28, 1987, and a Wing Charter No. 48 on January 30, 1989.  It has since displayed its collection of vintage World War II era aircraft at numerous airshows 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 CAF Dixie Wing is located at the Atlanta Regional Airport-Falcon Field in Peachtree City, GA.

The Commemorative Air Force was founded in 1957 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.

The CAF Dixie Wing is a 100% volunteer organization composed of 300 members from all walks of the life.  The group operates a P-51D Mustang, a FG-1D Corsair, one of the three flying SBD-5 Dauntless in the world, a P-63 Kingcobra, a LT-6 Mosquito (Texan), a PT-19 Cornel and a T-34 mentor.  The wing is a non-profit, tax-exempt “flying museum” that depends on contributions of time and funds to carry out its mission.  The CAF Dixie Wing is the only flying museum located in the Atlanta metro area.

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.
