Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your warbird flight experience.

How do I book a warbird flight?+
The easiest way is to find us at one of our events — check the Events & Tour Stops section for our schedule. You can also book outside of events by contacting us directly and we'll make arrangements to get you in the air. Keep in mind the SNB-5 Sonoran Beauty requires a minimum of 4 passengers to fly.
What is the Twilight Flight?+
The Twilight Flight is our most exclusive experience — a 30-minute flight over Denver, Colorado aboard the full SNB-5 Sonoran Beauty for your group, for $1,000. It's done by arrangement only and departs from our home base at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (KBJC) in Broomfield. Contact us to set it up.
What aircraft can I fly in?+
We operate two historic warbirds: the SNB-5 "Sonoran Beauty" — a rare WWII-era Beechcraft Twin Beech 18 with 4 rear passenger seats and 1 copilot seat — and the North American T-28A Trojan, a tandem Korean War-era trainer where you ride in the rear seat for an unforgettable 800-horsepower experience.
Do I need to be a CAF member to fly?+
The SNB-5 Sonoran Beauty is open to the general public — no membership required. Flying in the T-28A Trojan does require CAF membership (minimum Supporting Member at $100/year) as part of the FAA Living History Flight Experience program. Visit the Join the Wing section to sign up.
How much do flights cost?+
SNB-5 Sonoran Beauty: rear passenger seat $150, front copilot seat $295. T-28A Trojan: $750 (CAF membership required). Twilight Flight (entire SNB-5 for your group): $1,000. All flights are approximately 30 minutes.
Are flights weather dependent?+
Yes. All flights operate under FAA Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and may be rescheduled due to weather. Your safety is our top priority — if we need to reschedule, we'll reach out as early as possible and there is no extra charge.
Are there age requirements?+
Kids 5 and older are welcome on the SNB-5 Sonoran Beauty — children ages 5–12 must fly with a parent or guardian. You must be at least 12 years old to fly in the T-28A Trojan. Weight limits may apply — contact us if you have questions.
Can I give a flight as a gift?+
Absolutely — gift certificates make a fantastic gift! Click the Purchase a Gift Certificate button on our website to choose a specific flight experience or any dollar amount. All purchases are processed securely through Square and certificates are valid for 24 months. See gift certificate options →
Can I visit the hangar and see the aircraft?+
We are an all-volunteer organization — most of our members have full-time jobs, so we don't have dedicated staff to keep the hangar open on a regular public schedule. The best way to come see us and our aircraft is to join us at one of our events. Check the Events & Tour Stops section for our schedule!
What should I wear?+
Wear whatever is comfortable for the day — temperatures inside the aircraft are similar to the outdoor temperature at the event. Closed-toe shoes are required. Just come ready to have a great time!
Can I bring a camera or GoPro?+
Yes — cameras and phones are absolutely welcome, and we encourage you to capture the experience! GoPro-style mounts require prior approval, so just check with us at the event.
How do I become a member or volunteer?+
Head to the Join the Wing section — click Join CAF first to become a Commemorative Air Force member, then click Join Mile High Wing to join us for $50/year. No aviation experience or military background required, just be 18 or older. Interested in volunteering? Contact us and we'll point you in the right direction.
Does the Mile High Wing accept corporate sponsors?+
Yes — we are proud to partner with businesses that align with the mission of the CAF! Sponsorships are a great way to connect your brand with aviation history and a passionate community. Contact us and we'll be happy to make it happen.
How can I support the Wing if I can't attend an event?+
Every dollar makes a real difference! Click the Make a Donation button on our website and choose any amount you like. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of supporters like you to keep these historic aircraft flying for future generations. Thank you!
Is it legal to sell rides in these aircraft?+
Great question! The FAA created the Living History Flight Experience (LHFE) program, which allows qualified nonprofits like the Commemorative Air Force to carry passengers in historic aircraft under FAA Exemption 6802. These are educational and historical preservation experiences — not airline service — conducted under strict FAA-approved procedures and oversight.
I have a question not listed here.+
