The Commemorative Air Force exists to preserve and exhibit "warbirds" - military aircraft used during the Second World War. These good folks, at their own considerable expense (coupled with heavy fundraising), acquire, restore, maintain, and fly examples of some of the most significant historic aircraft. And, every so often, they fly them into an airfield somewhere and park them for a day or two so interested members of the public can come take a look (and, if they can afford the fare, a ride). I can't afford the airfare, sadly, but I will surely come look at them and take pictures and learn things. And I'm more than happy to share what I learn.
