Overview
Air Group One is the San Diego Wing of the CAF, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the preservation of World War II aircraft and the history of World War II aviation. Air Group One formed as the "San Diego Squadron" of the CAF in 1981. Two years later it was reformed as a CAF Wing and renamed "Air Group One." It is based at its new hangar located at 1860 Joe Crosson Drive, Suite B, on Gillespie Field in El Cajon, CA.
Air Group One's hangar and WWII museum currently displays an SNJ "Sassy," and our L-5 Sentinel "Betsy" is in restoration at a hangar nearby. Air Group One is an all volunteer organization. Its members work on a number of local projects, museum displays, maintain and restore World War II airplanes, travel to Southern California airshows with the aircraft and PX trailer and hold special events.
Air Group One presents pancake breakfasts, symposiums and other special events including the annual World War II airshow held the first weekend of May. General meetings are held each Saturday at 10:00 a.m. and the hangar and museum is open to the public, free of charge, Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. For additional information call the museum (619) 448-4505; or email us.
