FOR PILOTS:  We currently have four planes in our squadron: the C-47 "Texas Zephyr". An AT-6/SNJ-4, the 'Pilot Maker'. An L-17 Navion and a the PT-19. Pilots are given the opportunity to fly throughout the year both in and out of Texas.

Living History Flight Experience: We love to take people and members up for a ride in our planes! We need volunteers who will work to administrate our flights at airshows, Oepn Hangar days and other events throughout the year.

Mr. FIX IT (MECHANICS): Since we try to keep our pilots busy flying our planes, the mechanics are never idle. They hold themselves to the highest standards for restoring and maintaining these World War II planes. Not an A&P? That's ok. We have ground equipment and other things to fix, too. Three older aircarft tugs, one tired old forklift and other ground support equipment all need someone willing to provide them the loving attention they need to keep the mission going.

SOCIAL EVENT PLANNERS (EVENT STAFF): Our event staff may accompany a flight crew or travel on their own to help staff the events we attend. Some will work the PX, others will give tours on the planes and help event set-up/clean-up. We like to meet. Some Unit meetings we have a lunch. Sometimes we host a community Pancake Breakfast. There's lots you can do to help.

CREW and GROUND CREW MEMEBERS: Our Crew Chiefs and Ground Crew members have several important responsibilities to ensure all flights are conducted safely and everything is in working order. This includes fueling, loading supplies, marshalling, wing walkers, passenger briefings and other support rooles both at home and on-the-road.

PIO, MARKETING & WEBSITE: Tech guys and gals make the Unit function in a smooth and orderly fashion. We are always in need of volunteers who have the background and passion to help us maintain our computers, websites and assist with marketing our organization. PX Assistant? Newsletter Editor? IT Support? Public Information Officer? If this is your cup of tea, please come join us!

AVIATION MUSEUM: Our Museum Docents greet our visitors at the hangar and answer any questions they have during their visit. The museum houses precious historical artifacts from World War II and more. Learn the story behind them and the relation to our Highland Lakes community. We also have a small PX gift shop.

BLUEBONNET AIRSHOW: On-going since 1992, this airshow is our biggest event and volunteers are needed in every area. Being a volunteer also gets you free admission plus a Volunteer T-shirt! You do not need to be a member in order to volunteer. 

DEVELPOMENT & FUNDRAISING:  Have a knack for fundraising? We are 100% funded through the generous donations we receive at our museum, events and social fundraisers.
