Honoring American Military Aviation
Through Flight, Exhibition And
Remembrance

The Indiana Wing CAF is a flying museum that maintains and flies a Fairchild PT-26 Cornell and a Taylorcraft L-2A Grasshopper. We have also acquired a Beech SNB/RC-45 and are in the process of transferring it to Indiana.  Member owned aircraft include a Vultee BT-13 Valiant, a T-6 Texan and a Stinson L-5 Sentinel. The Indiana Wing has aircraft based at Indianapolis Metropolitan Airport (UMP), which is located in Fishers, Indiana, and Sheridan Airport (5I4), which is located north of the city of Sheridan on Jerkwater Road.

"A generation which ignores history has no past and no future" – Robert Heinlein

CAF Mission Goals: 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. Want to be a part of this great mission? Join the Air Force you've never heard of and keep the CAF flying. This is our creed and more. It's who we are, what we do and why we do it. Help history soar!

Objectives:

1. 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.

2. To provide museum buildings for the permanent protection and display of these aircraft as a tribute to the thousands of men and women who built, serviced and flew them.

3. To perpetuate in the memory and in the hearts of all Americans the spirit in which these great planes were flown in the defense of our nation.
