Central Texas Wing CAF to do patriotic flyovers for July 4th celebrations

San Marcos, TX – On Saturday, July 3rd, and Sunday, July 4th, 2021, warbird aircraft of the Central Texas Wing of the Commemorative Air Force will perform flyovers of neighborhoods in Austin to help celebrate Independence Day.

Participating neighborhoods will see up to six vintage aircraft flyover at 1000 feet above ground level in precise formation. The aircraft will over-fly up to fifty neighborhoods over the July 4th weekend.

The precise route of flight for the formation will be determined on July 1st. This is also the deadline for neighborhoods to sign up to participate.

Neighborhoods can put a “pin on the map” with as low as a $500.00 donation to the organization.

The event will be live-streamed via Facebook and YouTube with audio and video from both the ground and the aircraft during the flight.

Funds from the event will be used to support the continued preservation and restoration of historic aircraft.

The Central Texas Wing is part of the Commemorative Air Force (CAF), an educational non-profit organization founded in 1957.  The CAF has more than 12,000 members and 165 vintage military aircraft located around the nation.

These aircraft comprise the world’s largest flying museum and are operated for the education and enjoyment of present and future generations.  The Central Texas Wing was established in March 1974.

Its 150 members maintain six World War II era aircraft in flying condition, including one of the most historic aircraft, still flying, the C-47 That’s All, Brother.

The Wing is open M-W-F-Sat from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for tours to school groups, civic and military organizations, ROTC cadets, scout organizations, and the general public. Admission is free.
