The Commemorative Air Force® (CAF) was founded to preserve history by keeping World War II aircraft in flying condition so they can be used to educate and inspire new generations of Americans. We Honor the men and women who built, flew, and maintained these aircraft by offering a Living History Flight Experience in a Grumman Avenger Torpedo Bomber and a Piper Cub Training/Liaison aircraft.

Our TBM Bu No 53503, was delivered to the US Navy in 1945, transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy in 1950 for ASW duty in the Atlantic on the Aircraft Carrier HMCS Magnificent, led a formation flyover at Queen Elizabeth's Coronation Review of the Fleet in 1953, and retired from Military Service in 1958.
It has been maintained and flown by the CAF Rocky Mountain Wing in Grand Junction CO since 1984. It is listed on the Colorado Register of Historic Properties and the National Register of Historic Places.
The Commemorative Air Force is chartered to preserve WWII-era aircraft, and American Airpower History. We restore, maintain, and fly over 170 aircraft, operate museums across the US, and tell stories of the heroes who helped to save the world and ensure our freedom.
