Aircraft Facts

Many of the aircraft in the CAF fleet are very rare, including the only flying example of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress FIFI, Curtiss SB2C Helldiver and the Bell P-39 Airacobra fighter.

Others – such as the Consolidated B-24A Liberator Diamond Lil', Bell P-63 Kingcobra fighter, Douglas SBD Dauntless and North American P-51D Mustang Red Nose – are one of only two or three of that type still flying today.

Rare Axis aircraft operated by the CAF include an original Japanese Mitsubishi A6M3 "Zero" carrier-based fighter and a German Ju-52. These aircraft are all flown regularly in support of the CAF mission.
