Warbird Training Center

The Indiana Wing of the CAF is putting on a unique and interesting event Oct. 10-11th at Sheridan Airport (5I4) in Sheridan, Indiana, called "Wings of Valor". Basically you become a WWII Cadet. We will have the Stearman, PT-26, BT-13, T-6 and C-45 there, a perfect lineup of WWII Trainers. Ground training on each airplane will be available, walk-arounds, and flights. This link has all the times, events, and registration. It's a cool idea--come check it out! For pilots and non-pilots (aka enthusiasts) alike!

Wings of Valor - WWII Pilot Training Experience Open to pilots and non-pilots Wings of Valor is an experience which allows you to briefly walk the same steps those pilot cadets in WWII walked.

We at Warbird Training Center are devastated to have to announce the loss of our friend and partner, Robert N Davis. Nathan passed away unexpectedly today due to an accidental fall and resultant injuries. Please keep his family, and his airport family, in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate these difficult times.
