Welcome to the Central California Valley Squadron Web Site

    Our mission is to preserve in flying condition heritage combat aircraft which were flown by all military services of the United States in World War II and later conflicts. In accomplishing our mission we preserve, maintain, display and fly a vintage 1945 L-5 liaison airplane. The airplane and a planned museum are displayed at Modesto Airport and we moved into the historic Hangar 1 at Modesto in March, 2005. This Web page shows are Events Schedule as well as our meeting schedules and planned activities at our meetings. If you are interested in military aircraft, come and join us.
