About Us

Our staff & volunteers

CAF members regularly and generously donate both their time and money to support the mission of the Commemorative Air Force. Let the CAF Buckeye Wing benefit from your knowledge and experience!

Our history

Collecting aircraft for nearly a half a century, the CAF now ranks as one of the largest air forces in the world. Today the CAF has approximately 13,000 members and a fleet of more than 175 aircraft representing more than 60 different types—including planes from several foreign countries and other military conflicts since World War II. The Headquarters of the CAF is located in Dallas. Founded in 2022, the CAF Buckeye Wing was established to recognize the crucial role that Ohio has played in aviation history while offering local members the opportunity to support the CAF mission and its growing air force.

Our Aircraft: N9859H

The Buckeye Wing acquired a 1943 Fairchild PT-26 with a Ranger 400C engine on May 24, 2022. Our airplane was a primary trainer for Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) throughout WWII. Provided to the RCAF via the Lend Lease agreement, the PT-26 was responsible for training a number of the 8864 Americans who joined the RCAF prior to the US involvement in WWII. (Of note, 37 Ohioans were KIA while serving in the RCAF). The aircraft underwent a significant restoration in 2002 and is sporting the RCAF livery. Wing training is underway and we hope to be flying within the next couple months. If you want to stop by KMRT and take a look, please contact us using the email address below.
