Warbird Information Exchange

I will be heading to Lancaster in a few weeks to check out the Cold War Air Museum and somehow forgot (and just now remembered) that the DFW Wing of the CAF is there as well. Does anyone know what aircraft the currently have there? their website says they have the R4D Bluebonnet Belle, but last i checked that aircraft was in Burnet.

The DFW Wing's R4D and the Bluebonnet Bell are two different CAF aircraft of the C-47/R4D family assigned to two different CAF units. You might check here for more info on the planes assigned to the D/FW Wing http://www.contrails.us/caf_dfw_wing/index.htm. Hope that helps.

ah ok well that explains that. I have looked at that website, but I also know that at times, aircraft change hands in reference to wings and squadrons, was just checking to see if the R4D, L-17, T-6, and PT-17 were all that were there still.

Aircraft actually assigned to the DFW wing are the R4D, an L-5, A BT-13 and a Stearman. There are normally two T-6's of CAF members parked in the hangar and sometimes the Corsair.

If you can hold off visiting until next Saturday we are having our annual "Warbirds on Parade", an open house and there will be a variety of aircraft there. I haven't seen the list yet so am not sure what is scheduled to come. I will just be in orange, marshalling whatever drops from the skies. (Even you Karen! Front row parking by the hangar again this year ma'am?)

Absolutely, Mr Marshaller!!! Even my tractor tug will be there but unfortunately the tug driver will not be, so I guess you'll have arrange the pushing

Where does the CAF Corsair reside now? I always thought it lived in Lancaster.

why dont they just bring it down to TX for the show next weekend? im sure lots of logistics (and money!) involved, and that possibility has already been brought up. was just curious
