THE 2022 WINGS AND WHEELS EXPO!

The Capital Wing of the Commemorative Air Force will be appearing with the following aircraft – available for rides:

The Stearman open cockpit bi-plane was a "Primary" trainer in WWII and virtually all US Army and Navy pilots began their flight training in a Stearman. The passenger sits in front of the pilot right behind the 220 hp 9-cylinder radial engine. If you are a pilot, bring your license and your CFI pilot may let you get some "stick" time for your logbook.

We offer two different flights, the only difference being length.

• Passenger seat @ $210 for a 20-minute flight experience.
• Passenger seat @ $295 for a 30-minute flight experience.

Complimentary Flight Certificate and Stearman booklet with every purchase.

Warbird rides in this aircraft are available with advance tickets available by Clicking Here OR or on-site at the airport if unsold flights are available. 

The Fairchild F24R/UC-61 was built in 1946 in Hagerstown MD. It has that 1930s "art deco" look because it was designed in that decade. It sports "gull" type wings, roll down windows and a simulated wood grained instrument panel. This is one classy lady of the skies!

This Fairchild carries up to 3 passengers: one next to the pilot and 2 in the rear seat. This makes it ideal for the couple or family that wants to fly together. 

One price whether flying 1, 2 or 3 passengers.

Children 5-12 can fly in this warbird with a parent/guardian on board.

1, 2, or 3 passengers @ $150 for a 30-minute flight.
Flight Certificate and Fairchild booklet with every purchase.

Flight adventure rides are also available in this warbird by Clicking Here OR or on-site at the Hagerstown airport for flights not sold in advance.
