Frequently Asked Questions

01

How do I find information about a specific tour stop?

​

All information about a tour stop is included on the City Page for that stop. Just click on the Schedule and select a tour stop from the drop down list. Information on the City Page will include  a list of attending aircraft, event location, dates, hours of operation, and links for booking rides.

Please remember weather and maintenance issues sometimes keep airplanes from attending. ​

​What you should know about cockpit tours:

​

B-29 and B-24 cockpit tours are available throughout the event when the aircraft are not in motion. Ride flights are conducted at the beginning of the day and the airplanes are open for cockpit tours as soon as possible after the last ride flight (generally 30-45 minutes). Cockpit tours in other attending aircraft are generally available when the aircraft are not in motion, but are subject to the rules designated by the unit or squadron operating that particular airplane.

​May I use photography and video equipment inside and around the aircraft?

​

The Commemorative Air Force encourages photographers to document these few remaining relics of American Aviation History.
