The Inland
Empire "Squadron" was founded in 1989. At that time it was located
in Rialto, CA and was not doing very well. A group from Corona, CA
took it over and moved the headquarters to the Corona airport. The
four members who were responsible for this action were Art Seidler,
Lyle Page, Bob Hemborg and Don Helms, seen in the photo below, taken
in December 1990.
The first plane assigned to the Squadron was the L-4F, in 1991, and then
the Ryan PT-22, in 1992. The Squadron moved to the Riverside
Airport in 1994, and became the Inland Empire Wing. Today we have
approximately 87 members, and of course, are always looking for new
recruits! |
|
All members
become "Colonels" once they join the CAF. One Saturday each month
we have a "Hangar Day" and welcome any volunteers to come help with
the many jobs around the hangar - including sweeping the floors!
There's always work to be done!
