Gillespie Memorial Hangar

As of 1 December, 2001, the High Sky Wing has only one more year's lease on this hangar, at an affordable rate. The Wing is in the process of planning a new home, located on the main CAF HQ lease at Midland International Airport. We will keep you posted.

The High Sky Wing is very fortunate to have the excellent facilities provided by the Gillespie Memorial hangar.

Our hangar is located right across the street from CAF HQ and the Museum at Midland International Airport.

The front of the hangar was re-landscaped earlier this summer with help from Wing members and local Boy Scouts.
The hangar opens onto a spacious ramp area, fitted with tie-down cables for visiting aircraft.
Our Veterans Wall displays the insignia of units our Wing members served with in the military. The Wing is very active in local veterans' events.
Col Sue Becraft shows off the Wing's newly redone library. Aviation history books and periodicals are available to Wing members and their families.
Operations and Maintenance share an office in the hangar, where logbooks and other required CAF paperwork are kept carefully hidden.
For Wing meetings and many other events, the hangar kitchen sees a lot of action. The current space is too small and plans to expand the kitchen are in the works.
The entry area provides a comfortable place to get out of the heat and visit with friends and other members.
The Wing's lounge provides both members and their families a place to gather after work is done to enjoy a cool drink and some good company.
