Wright Stuff Squadron of Greater Dayton

The
Wright Stuff Squadron is a unit of the Commemorative Air
Force (CAF), a Texas-based, not-for-profit organization
that restores and flies U.S. military and selected foreign
aircraft for the education and enjoyment of Americans. It
operates a Cessna T-50 "Bamboo Bomber" and a Cessna O-2
Skymaster.
Eight western Ohio members of the CAF
organized the squadron at Brookville Airpark in 2001. It
requested assignment of the CAF's Cessna T-50 "Bamboo
Bomber," an airplane that had been languishing in a CAF
hangar in Midland, Texas, since around 1994. The airplane
was restored to airworthy condition and flown to
Brookville. Restoration work at Brookville and later
Trotwood Dahio restored the airplane to its World War II
condition.
The squadron moved its base of operations
to Middletown Regional Airport-Hook Field in October 2008.
It meets on the airport every third Saturday at 1 p.m. In
addition to the T-50, it operates a Cessna O-2 Skymaster
that flew combat missions in Vietnam.
