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 Canadian Royal Air Force (CRAF) throughout WWII. Provided to the CRAF via the Lend Lease agreement, the PT-26 was responsible for training a number of the 8864 Americans who joined the CRAF prior to the US involvement in WWII. (Of note, 37 Ohioans were KIA while serving in the CRAF). The aircraft underwent a significant restoration in 2002 and is sporting the CRAF 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.
