The Commemorative Air Force says it wants to take warbirds mainstream with a new headquarters complex in a major urban area. At a news conference at AirVenture Wednesday, CAF President Steve Brown said the idea is to take the organization uptown while preserving and honoring its rural roots. "We want to add," he said. "We don't want to subtract anything." The current headquarters is in Midland, Texas, a city of 160,000 about halfway between El Paso and Dallas, and is home to the organization's museum and annual airshow. Brown said the facilities and airshow will continue in Midland but the new national headquarters will have its own attractions and be located in a major metropolitan area.
