CAF Headquarters move

Thu Sep 15, 2016 5:55 pm

I have kind of lost track. Has this move taken place yet or is it still a work in progress?

The CAF HQ is pretty much fully operational at Dallas Executive Airport.

Great to 'Lil..

By the way my old O-2A 67-21431 had a biblical fish with 21:31 stencilled on it...

The CAF is at Dallas Exec, but Diamond Lil isn't. She's grounded in the VFM hangar with two failed engines (#3 and #4). :(

They got her airborne and out of here? I must have missed that. Haven't been over to the hangar in a month or two.
Just saw a Tora Zero replica take off from my office window. Not bad!

Will the new headquarters still have a museum?

Watched her fly out of SPS earlier, followed not long after by the Thunderbirds. Just sad that I didn't get to be up here for the show.
