It saddens me to think the Confederate Air Force gave in to this inane political correctness........They've been around longer than those who are trying to destroy their heritage just so no-one is offended. I'm proud of our Confederate Air Force Museum here in Midland!

They musta got a letter from the G't to cut their planes in half. So now they're gonna have to change their name. Simple.

Sad day, indeed.
I hope to live long enough to see the concept of "Political Correctness" flung on the ash heap of history!

They can call it anything they wish. I will always call it the Confederate Air Force.

Several quick thoughts, if I may:
1. It is critical that the CAF survive and continue their very good work. It is living history of the best kind.
2. The name is less important that what the organization is doing/stands for.
3. Aside from the PC issues, having a name that more people can relate to and support is a good thing.
4. This heritage needs to be preserved and passed on to our children.
5. Personally, I like the Ghost Squadron and I'll bet those who flew them would too.

The local radio in Midland home of the Confederate Air Force just announced that they have changed their name. The CAF states that the change is due to loss of corporate sponsors. The new name will be announced later today nothing follows.How 'bout:
