Join the CAF

The CAF New York Wing is for everyone, not just people with a career in aviation or a lifelong passion. While historical education is central to our mission, in many ways, antique military airplanes are a lens through which we can get people of all kinds excited about the magic of flight. That means we want to be the place that the young and the young at heart discover the joy of aviation.

​

Becoming a member of the CAF and the New York Wing has all kinds of benefits. From the "master" CAF, or Headquarters (HQ), as we call it, you get a monthly magazine, industry discounts, and best of all, eligibility to work on, fly in, and pilot the CAF's fleet of more than 180 aircraft. Joining the CAF costs $225 per year and can be done easily at this link.

​

When you join the New York Wing, you get access to our quarterly unit meetings and free warbird rides while volunteering and when capacity permits. Our unit dues are currently set at $50 per year and are billed based upon the unit affiliation that you indicate when you become a CAF member. Otherwise, you can contact us directly.

​

For those interested in flying warbirds, our PT-26 is a fantastic place to start. Reach out to us directly to discuss the path to becoming a CAF pilot, and why it's by far the most approachable and affordable path into historic aviation.
