Before they ferried fighters, trained pilots on bombers bombers, and pulled targets across the country, the Women Airforce Service Pilots had to learn how to fly like the Army expected—and the AT-6 Texan was one of their proving grounds. In this episode of CAF Warbird Tube, we take a closer look at AT-6 “Nella,” a rare surviving trainer flown by the Women Airforce Service Pilots. From the demanding nature of the AT-6 to the intense training pipeline WASPs faced, “Nella” represents far more than a stepping stone—it represents determination, skill, and a generation of women who proved they belonged in the cockpit. Join us as we explore the aircraft, the women who flew it, and why preserving trainers like “Nella” is just as important as preserving frontline warbirds.

CAF Warbird Tube - Training the Women who first flew for America
Once feared across the Pacific, the Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero was Japan’s most famous fighter of World War II — fast, agile, and unmatched in the early years of combat. Today, the Commemorative Air Force’s SoCal Wing in Camarillo, California, keeps that legacy alive with one of the few authentic, fully operational Zeros still flying. In this episode, CAF pilots and mechanics share the incredible story behind this aircraft — from its wartime origins to the meticulous care that keeps it airworthy. Learn what makes the Zero so unique to fly, how it earned its legendary reputation, and why preserving this rare warbird helps tell both sides of aviation history.

The latest Restoration Update- PBY Catalina: December 2025
Ninety years ago, an airplane took to the skies that would change aviation forever. The Douglas DC-3—and its wartime counterpart, the C-47—didn’t just fly; it shaped history. In this special episode, CAF pilots who still fly and maintain these legendary aircraft take you inside one of the most influential designs ever built. From combat service in World War II to the unmistakable sound of radial engines at modern airshows, they share what it’s really like to operate a DC-3 today—the challenges, the quirks, and the moments that make every flight unforgettable. Nearly a century after its first flight, the DC-3 remains the beating heart of vintage aviation. This is why it still matters—and why it still flies.
