The space has allowed Wings of Flight Foundation to educate more people about the importance of aviation and the history of Falcon Field. In November 2021, Wings of Flight Foundation hosted a gala honoring the 80th anniversary of the opening of Falcon Field and the start of the RAF’s British Flying Training School #4. Surviving family members of some of the British cadets who trained there attended the event, many traveling from England. KNOWN FOR: Every year, Wings of Flight Foundation works with the City of Mesa to arrange a military-style fly-over Remembrance Day ceremony at the Mesa Cemetery, where 23 British RAF pilot cadets are laid to rest. In fact, Wings of Flight Foundation — and the Churchill family before that — has been honored to participate in this tradition for 37 years. Wings of Flight Foundation also conducts “missing man” formation fly-overs at funerals of military members and aviators who have passed away.
