To celebrate the history of aviation in the great state of Arizona.
Active partner with the No. 4 BFTS organizations in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Keep
the record.
Aviation history in Arizona — its airframes, its airfields, its people.
Project Tweet — bring the T-37B home.
We are working on acquiring and restoring a T-37B "Tweet" to airworthy status. It's a lofty goal but one we are dedicated to. Every dollar goes straight to the project — Tim sends the thank-you note himself.
Upcoming events.

Education, Restoration, Preservation.
Each mission is vital. None of them happen without your help.
We should all want to preserve our state's aviation history. It is our shared story.
Two original BFTS hangars at Falcon Field are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Where we see a need, we endeavor to restore what stands as monuments to the past and present.
The T-33 is operational and appears at airshows and fly-ins around the southwestern United States.
All three of these need more hands. If you've got a Saturday, we've got the work — and the coffee.
Numbers worth
remembering.
A few of the figures behind the programs we keep — the airfield, the cadets, the squadron, the airframes.
