You do not have to be a pilot, mechanic, or military veteran to become a CAF member or to volunteer your efforts. We have enough work for everyone who wants to help! Annual membership dues to be a "Colonel" in the CAF are $160.00 per year with a first year initiation fee of $40. The Wisconsin Wing's annual dues are $36. Although it is necessary to be a CAF member in order to join the Wing and receive full membership benefits, membership is not required if you just want to volunteer your time and talents to the ongoing restoration work, visit the hanger, or attend events throughout the year. All dues and monetary contributions are fully tax deductible since the CAF is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization.

We encourage you to visit our hanger and attend our monthly meetings to learn about our projects and meet our members. Our hanger is open Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Please call (262) 547-1775 first to receive directions and to ensure we aren't away on a special event.

We certainly hope you will join us in preserving our American Airpower Heritage. This is truly an organization where you can participate to the fullest of you abilities and desire. Dedication and hard work make the personal rewards great! Together, we can make the restoration of one of the greatest combat aircraft of World War II a reality and flying legacy.

Please contact Col. Chuck Gilpatrick, our Public Information Officer, at (262) 547-1775 if you have any questions or would like more information.
