Commemorative Air Force - Spirit of Tulsa Squadron The Spirit of Tulsa Squadron is part of the Commemorative Air Force – a national nonprofit organization devoted to preserving vintage military aircraft.

In 1988 eight people with an interest in preserving aviation history began the process to form The Spirit of Tulsa Squadron. On November 17, 1990, the newest unit of the national Commemorative Air Force was officially sanctioned. From these small beginnings grew a vibrant organization more than 75 members strong. The Spirit of Tulsa Squadron’s initial restoration project has been complete for several years now. The historically accurate rebuild of a Fairchild PT-19 trainer, a primary trainer (PT) for pilots during WWII, literally began as a bunch of parts on a hanger floor and every step of the way was an adventure. As a tribute to the thousands of man hours working on innumerable bits and pieces, as well as the research that went into the restoration of our PT-19, we have affectionately named her “Some Assembly Required”.

What a great day for the Spirit of Tulsa Squadron, Commemorative Air Force and our hosts at the TulsaTech Riverside campus. Our counterparts in the SOCAL (Southern California) Wing made a fuel stop in Tulsa with two of their WWII vintage fighter aircraft, the Grumman F6F Hellcat and Mitsubishi A6M Zero. For a Sunday it was a great turnout to show the CAF how much interest there is in the mission of the CAF to restore, maintain, and fly these 80 year old aircraft that are in better shape now than they were flying in combat. Thanks to the SOCAL Wing for stopping by to see us, TulsaTech for letting them park on the ramp, and everyone who came out and showed them how much we love doing what we’re doing.

Unfortunately, the F6F and A6M won't be making a fuel stop in Tulsa. Weather enroute between Sante Fe, NM and Tulsa, they had to pick an alternate routing. Thanks for keep up with us for this possibly exciting event.
