Redbird Squadron, Dallas Executive Airport, Dallas, Texas
Sat Apr 20, 2019 8:19 pm
Today the "Redbird Squadron" of the CAF had a chance to roll out the Taylorcraft L-2 and take some photos as we try and get some things rolling at Dallas Executive.
We are looking to recruit a few more pilot / sponsors, so if you know of someone in the DFW area that's tailwheel endorsed and interested in an entry-level warbird, tell them to look us up, or send me a PM.

Looks like a great event.
Love the "L" birds, I'm always impressed when a museum has a complete set.

Hopefully we'll also have an L-5 in attendance. Would REALLY like to find an L-4 to come. The CAF doesn't have one nearby. Anyone know of a good L-4 in flying distance of Dallas?
