PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. – If your eyes were aimed to the sky this past weekend, you may have been witness to a pretty extraordinary sight. Flying above was the incredible talent of pilots from all over the United States taking part in a formation clinic put on by Peachtree City's very own Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Dixie Wing. The formation clinic, held November 13th through 15th, brought in over 50 participants and instructors from Connecticut, Indiana, Missouri, Texas, and Utah, just to name a few, right here to our city. The clinic's purpose, according to CAF pilot Clint Cottrell, was to provide pilots with FAA approved training so they could conduct formation flying at air shows and other events. The team at CAF Dixie Wing saw this as a chance to host their first ever clinic and showcase Peachtree City by making use of the excellent facilities at Atlanta Regional Airport-Falcon Field, the group’s flying museum, extensive network of aviation professionals and volunteer talent to instruct pilots on how to properly execute this technique. Plans are already underway to host a follow-up formation clinic in 2021. As the Georgia Chapter of the Commemorative Air Force (CAF), the Dixie Wing has restored and operates seven World War II aircraft including a P51 Mustang, FG-1D Corsair and rare types such as the SBD Dauntless dive bomber and P-63A Kingcobra. The organization also works with local schools to help teach World War II history and inspire students to explore careers as pilots and mechanics. The unit, composed of 300 volunteers, is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization that relies on contributions of time and funds to carry out the mission of the CAF.
