WARBIRD RIDE PROGRAM
|
|
Our CAF - Southern California Wing has now in full operation a special program to introduce the public to the thrilling realm of experiencing flight in an authentic warbird, namely our North American SNJ-5 (AT-6) Texan and our Fairchild PT-19A Cornell.
For the price of $300 (for the enclosed-cockpit SNJ-5) or $225 (for the open-cockpit PT-19A), you can reserve your flight, or a flight for a loved one, with one of our highly qualified pilots for a memorable 20 minute ride - perhaps over the Ventura County coastline or along the edge of our northern mountains.
Flights are scheduled on Saturdays, depending upon the weather, and the availability of pilots.
To sign up for a ride in our Warbird Ride Program, call (805) 482-0064 and tell the CAF member you want to ride in an SNJ-5 Warbird. We accept credit cards.
For you, or for your loved one, it will be the thrill of a lifetime! Call us today at (805) 482-0064 to make your reservation.
You, too, can be smiling. Just pick up the 'phone and call (805) 482-0064 and sign up for a memorable flight in our user-friendly warbird. Or better yet, order a flight for your favorite uncle, or aunt, or son, or daughter, or husband, or wife, or.....you get the picture! We are ready to take you or your friend flying!
And don't forget to take your camera for those special photos that will help you remember your extraordinary flight!
