Warbird flights now available!

Have you ever wanted to fly in a genuine World War II warbird? (Or do you know someone who has?) Air Group One's North American SNJ aircraft is now available for rides to the public, for only $325 for a 30 minute flight. That's quite a bargain considering the cost of aviation fuel and warbird maintenance these days. There's nothing like the experience of flying in a classic warbird with the sounds and smells of its big, powerful radial engine reminding you what it was like for the aviators of yesterday! Buy a flight for yourself, or for your favorite warbird fan!

Those interested in purchasing a flight should call (619) 890-7340. Rides are a tax-deductible contribution (though consult with your tax advisor for confirmation).

DONATE YOUR VEHICLES TO SUPPORT AG-1

Great News! Air Group One has entered into a partnership with YouAutoDonate.com. Now you can donate your old car, boat, RV, or other vehicle and have the money go towards Air Group One. Your donation will be tax-deductible, you avoid the hassles of selling your vehicle and dealing with the DMV, and the money goes to a good cause. In most cases, they'll even come and pick up the vehicle from you. Just go to the YouAutoDonate.com website and navigate to the AG-1 page; you'll find all the details there.

CAF Air Group One and Tuskegee Airmen members take a moment to reflect,
