What's not to love about the CAF? ...

Thu Aug 21, 2014 12:55 am

... Nothing by the looks of this group photo. Saw this photo over on the WIX Facebook page. Great looking setup and they all look nice and cared for. (Almost doesn't look real) Nice job CAFers. If this doesn't convince me to sign up, nothing will I suppose.

Anyone care to state some info on this event. Please do.

CAF command I'd seriously suggest printing some posters and/or recruitment brochures using this photo. Stunning and makes quite the powerful statement IMHO

Mark, I believe the photographer was Scott Slocum and it was taken the day before the announcement of the new HQ location. The ramp location is indeed at Dallas Executive Airport and is reminiscent of photos taken of the ramp during the Harlingen days.....

Any better shots of that Navy C-45 / Beech 18?

No pics of the Navy Twin Beech, but it belongs to Neils Agather and is currently based at Meacham Airport in Fort Worth, Texas, immediately across the runway from the VFM complex. We see it flying frequently. Nice airplane, for sure.

I believe the CAF B-29 "FIFI" was named for Neils' mother.

From the Wix Registry.... I know that I have some photos of the aircraft but cannot find the correct file...plus it may be on my home computer and not my laptop.... but this will get you started.... The other C-45 in the pic "Bucket of Bolts" was also in the Agather family, belonging to Neils dad, Vic..... I have been blessed to fly to several airshows in "Dallas Dolls" and Neils has been gracious enough to let me have some right seat time.......

That photo would have been much better than the one they used in their latest fundraising campaign when they used a picture of a B-17 that does not belong to the CAF.
