Opportunities to fly in restored WWII aircraft will be offered at seven Georgia airports August through November – including Gainesville’s – when Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Airbase Georgia launches its 2026 Georgia Barnstorming Tour.
Several aircraft in the Airbase Georgia fleet will travel to Toccoa, Augusta, Atlanta, Macon, Athens and Gainesville, wrapping up the tour at their home base in Peachtree City, to offer aviation fans what is called “an experience of a lifetime.” Rides can be scheduled in advance at www:airbasegeorgia.org.
The tour began yesterday in Toccoa R.G. Letourneau Field, where the Airbase took its PT-19 for display and rides to help celebrate the Toccoa airport’s Open House. The Gainesville stop is planned for Oct. 24 where the Pixel Man Airshow will have the LT-6, PT-19 trainer and T-34 Mentor trainer.
