CAF Airbase Georgia Warbirds Take to Skies for 2025 Air Shows and Events

PEACHTREE CITY, GA. (March 10, 2025) – Spring is bringing a unique fleet of World War II-era warbirds out of the hangar for a busy 2025 Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Airbase Georgia season of airshows and events. The aircraft will be on display and will provide aerial performances at airports in the United States between March and November. This year’s campaign is dedicated to the 80th Anniversary of the end of World War II and 250th Anniversary of the U.S. Navy & Marines. The season kicks off with the Wings & Things Festival and Fly-In March 22 at Douglas, Ga., home to the WWII Flight Training Museum. Airbase Georgia will return to Sun ‘n Fun and EAA AirVenture, two of the largest and most heavily attended aviation traditions in the United States.
