CAF Centex Air Wing Museum, Links to official websites

Link to Official CAF Website.
The Commemorative Air Force (CAF)
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 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.


Central Texas Air Wing (CenTex)
The Central Texas Wing hangar houses four CAF aircraft for which the Wing has maintenance and restoration responsibility: a very-rare flying P-39Q Bell “Airacobra”, the B-25 Mitchell “Yellow Rose”, a BT-13 “Valiant” and the U-3A "Administrator".  "Kate" #310 is always in the hangar, when not flying air shows with the "Tora, Tora, Tora!" group.
Two other CAF aircraft are housed with us, the CAF replica "Kate" #310 from the movies Tora, Tora, Tora and Pearl Harbor and the Bell P-63F King Cobra.   Other aircraft in the hangar are privately owned by CAF members, and used to support the missions of the CAF. Among these are 4 AT-6 Texan types, a Japanese Zero replica, built for the movie Tora, Tora, Tora, a Chinese-built CJ-6A trainer, the Beech T-34A “Mentor”, and a Lockheed T-33 "Shooting Star" jet trainer.
