Long history on this site with the term... I'm not against them, as it makes for good branding for the CAF.

Is it just me... but the design on the aircraft doesn't look all that much like the attached CAF logo?

Not thrilled with the logo on CAF aircraft...especially in the size many of them are.
Yes, it helps them "brand" but most other warbird operators and charities seem to live without them.

The Stearman is actually not connected to the CAF. It is a new non profit called "Fly-Hope-Dream." Started by Gareth Williams with his 1942 Navy N2S-4. They give rides to grieving parents that have lost children.
Eventually it will be based out of Santa Paula, California.
