Welcome to the Lobo Wing of the

Commemorative Air Force

Link Trainer

The Wing acquired this Link Trainer Project in December 2004 and it now resides in our restoration facility awaiting a much needed restoration. This is a very exciting project and an incredible piece of aviation history. 

PT-26

The Wing spent 12 years restoring our 1942 Fairchild PT-26Cornell. During that time the Wing had to move the aircraft twice. Due to the closure of the Wing’s home airport a major move to a cross-town airport was undertaken. As this was the Wing’s first major project, mistakes were made during the restoration process and many lessons were learned. These lessons will be applied to our next projects.

This is our 1952 Jeep that was donated to the Lobo's. The jeep has undergone a near complete restoration and need only a small amount of work to be finished. It has been refitted with a rebuilt Ford Pinto engine and transmission.

Ramp Scooter

The wing acquired a ramp scooter from the New Mexico Wing that was built at the Hobbs AAF during the 1940,1950 Time frame. The scooter is made up of spare parts from various aircraft including an APU or GPU that is used to power the unit. This scooter is currently being researched and restoration work has begun.

AT-11 Kansan

The AT-11 is a WWII bombardier trainer. Our particular AT-11 was stationed in Albuquerque during 1941 and 1942 and was used extensively for training. We acquired this aircraft in 2002 and moved it from Michigan to New Mexico. It is now undergoing restoration at Moriarty facility. 

B-29 Tail Section

The wing acquired a B-29 tail section that we are restoring and mounting on a trailer. It is our intent to bring this to air shows for a memorial display and to use for a fund raising activity by taking pictures of children in the rear gunner position. The remainder of the time the tail section will be displayed in the museum.

The hangar was purchased and constructed in 2004 and is now being finished on the interior. We are adding heat, lighting, bathrooms, a meeting room parts storage and a workshop. We hope to be finished in the spring of 2005 so work can resume on our other projects.
