It is with a big grin (and a sense of relief…) that the CAF Red Tail Squadron officially announces that the new website launched over the weekend.   We invite you to check it out at www.redtail.org.  Feel free to post comments and/or suggestions here on the blog or on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/redtailsquadron.

     Have a great week (and if you’re in the Midwest, under the “heat dome” that brought us ridiculously high temps and dewpoints over the weekend and will continue through the week – be careful out there!).  Those of us who will be working in the Squadron’s exhibit on the ConocoPhillips Plaza at the EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh next week are crossing our fingers that this heat will break by then.

The CAF Red Tail Squadron is a volunteer-driven 501c3 non-profit organization that operates under the auspices of the Commemorative Air Force. For more information, please visit redtail.org.
