Join Our Squadron
Be a member
Share your talents and passion to help us educate the public, inspire the next generation, and honor those who went before us!
Become a full member to participate in activities, share our aircraft with the public, teach cadets about aviation, and thank our veterans. You do not need to be a pilot to join. Our members have backgrounds in flying, technology, maintenance, visual design, medicine, and more!
Feel free to speak with our membership officer (or any unit officer) about your interests and to ensure we’re a good fit for each other.
1. Join Commemorative Air Force
If you are not yet a member of CAF, join at the Colonel, Preservation Colonel, Life Member, or Cadet level.
Skip this step if you already have a CAF Colonel number and are dues-current for this year.
2. Join Rainier Squadron
Squadron members must be dues-current CAF members. Squadron dues are $50 per year, which fund our core operations.
Contact our Adjutant after applying for or obtaining a CAF Colonel number. (New CAF membership applications are usually processed within a few days.)
Be a donor
Support our mission to educate, inspire, and honor through flight by donating to our programs in any amount or with equipment. CAF is an IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We thank you in advance!
Be a sponsor
Support the preservation and operation of our specific aircraft by becoming an aircraft sponsor. This is a unique opportunity to help us preserve a particular aircraft.
