Great Plains Wing Membership

Becoming a Unit member puts you where the action is—close to the aircraft or their operations. CAF Wings and Squadrons are located in 28 U.S. states and four foreign countries and are assigned the responsibility of maintaining aircraft. Detachments are responsible for various disciplines within the CAF, such as Marshalling, Security, Communications, Medical or Explosives Ordnance.

To be a member of a Wing, Squadron or Detachment, you must first be a CAF Colonel, Life Member or Cadet. Unit members often receive additional benefits, including:
