CAF RISE ABOVE Exhibit & P-51C

CAF RISE ABOVE Squadron (formerly known as the CAF Red Tail Squadron) is our three-fold educational outreach program that brings the history and legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen and Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) to life in communities and classrooms everywhere. What the Tuskegee Airmen and WASP had in common – and what made them ultimately succeed – was the ability to recognize that all of the obstacles they faced could be overcome with hard work and dedication. The timeless lessons they teach us about perseverance and courage are just as applicable today as they were in the 1940s.

Rick Volker – Marchetti 260

Rick has created a unique performance in the Sukhoi SU-26M. There is a common theme in all of his displays: Complete mastery of the aircraft’s possible flight envelope, pushing the boundaries of both low and high speed limits, and artfully utilizing the smallest three dimensional space to create a masterpiece of entertainment. His routines are a roller coaster of artistry and athleticism, alternating frequently between violent maneuvers and delicate finesse.

Canadian Queen C-45

The C-45 is a military version of the Model 18 (hence the common name Beech 18) light commercial transport that first flew on January 15, 1937. 5,204 military models were delivered during World War 2. A number of C-45 transports served with the RCAF from 1944-1967 under the name Expeditor 3NM, 3NMT, 3T, etc., as a twin-engine navigational trainer, crew transport and a “hack”, or taxi. Versions of both the C-45 and its civil counterpart, the Model 18, served with thirty of the world’s air forces.

Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association

The mission of the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association is to acquire, preserve, restore, maintain, display and demonstrate the Harvard and other training aircraft associated with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP). As frequent visitors to Western New York, we welcome the sights and sounds of big radial engines, smoke, and aerobatic expertise.

Class of ’45

Jim, owner of the F4U-4 Corsair “Korean War Hero”, and Scott, owner of the P-51D Mustang “Quick Silver” started talking about doing a formation flight of their own to honor the service personnel who flew and maintained these American fighters. In flying these legendary machines, we remember their service, their contributions, and our obligation to never let their sacrifices be in vain.
