CAF Centex Air Wing, a proud and active member in our Community.

CAF Centex Air Wing is a proud participant in many local and national civic organizations. We are very active in many public events during the year.
Texas State University Honor Guard helps set the patriotic tone at one of our events.
The Central Texas Air Wing (Centex) of The Commemorative Air Force (CAF) is a Living History Museum. 
We take our stewardship of our rare planes very seriously. Above is our P-63F, the only one surviving anywhere. 
Keeping our planes flying and preserving the memory of those who served to keep this nation free is our mission.
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.
CAF Centex Air Wing Hanger, is proud to be an asset to our Community.
Our historic 1943 WWII facility is a perfect venue for our philanthropic activities.
We are very active participants in many civic events during the year. As a fully engaged member of our community, we participate in a number of ways, from flyovers at iconic local celebrations to hosting philanthropic events at our historic Hanger facilities.
