Living History Flight Experience
SEE, FEEL, HEAR AND EXPERIENCE THE PAST
The Commemorative Air Force Wisconsin Wing is proud to offer you the opportunity to experience flying in one of our authentic WWII aircraft. Come experience the sensation of a bygone era from the cockpit of our North American SNJ-5 or Fairchild PT-26. By booking a flight, you're not only getting to experience flying in an authentic WWII aircraft, you’re also helping to preserve them! All proceeds go toward maintaining the aircraft.
Passenger Requirements
Passengers must be 12 years or older and weigh less than 250 pounds. It’s also important for passengers to be able to climb onto wing and into cockpit. Passengers that cannot board without assistance cannot be flown.
What to Expect and How to Prepare
Your flight experience includes a pre-flight briefing with one of our experienced, commercial-rated pilots. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions about the aircraft and its operational history.
Dress in comfortable casual clothes. Please wear sturdy soled, closed toe shoes, like tennis shoes. No sandals or flip flops are permitted for safety reasons. A shirt with a collar will be more comfortable so the harness straps do not rub on your neck. You will be asked to wear a flight suit and provided a headset for ear protection and to communicate with the pilot during the flight.
Passengers will be asked to fill out a Hold Harmless agreement (provided when you arrive for your flight). Minors who fly (age 12-17) must have their guardian complete a Minor Hold Harmless agreement and the guardian(s) must be present.
In order to provide a safer environment for our riders, pilots, and ground crew, we are taking additional measures for disinfecting aircraft area and equipment. You are also welcome to bring and wear your own mask (not required).
