Their purpose was to assume custody of the collection of military aircraft. It was their dream to build a museum in which faithfully restored historic aircraft could be exhibited for public enjoyment. http://www.castleairmuseum.org CVFOG is meeting in Ceres on Hatch Rd and plan on leaving at 2:00 and arriving Castle Air Museum (CAM) at 3:00.
