Hangar Dinner and Dance Saturday November 14, 2026 Starts at 6:30 PM
What do you give that special person that has everything? Someone who loves to do things, you can’t just run out and do just anytime, anywhere? Think about this, how about a ride in one of our World War II aircraft.
The Highland Lakes Squadron CAF is currently able to offer Historic Flight Experiences in one of our authentic WWII aircraft: the AT-6 SNJ Primary Trainer! This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any aviation enthusiast.
The AT-6 flight costs $295. Each flight includes a pre-flight briefing covering the history of the aircraft. The flight lasts from 20 to 30 minutes.
The aircraft are based at Kate Craddock Field in Burnet, Texas, and rides are typically scheduled at this location. When the aircraft are appearing at events or airshows, flights may also be scheduled at those locations (subject to event restrictions).
Climb Aboard History – Experience the Flight of a Lifetime!
All of our warbird rides follow the same format, unless otherwise noted. Please plan on arriving at the facility (or the airport where the planes are visiting) at least a half hour before your scheduled flight time.
Passengers must be 18 years of age or older and must weigh less than 250 lbs. Passengers aged 12-17 must have a parent or legal guardian present to sign a waiver. They must have no physical condition or limitations which would make it impossible for them to get out of the aircraft unassisted and must be able to communicate with the pilot via the intercom. Closed-toed shoes must be worn throughout the flight experience.
Pre-boarding: 1/2 to 1 hour before take-off; crew/passenger briefing and paperwork

Engine start-up/Run-up: Before take off, run-up of engines and taxi to active runway
Flight time (in air): Aerial tour lasting about 20-30 minutes
Landing/Taxi/Engine shut down: Safe return back to base and taxi back to the area where you boarded the plane
Disembark: Once the plane is secure and the crew has opened the exit(s)
