[No. You do not have to be a pilot or a veteran to become a member of the CAF or our Wing. See the membership page for more details.]
[Yes. You will be a crew member which will entitle you to fly on the B-17. Of course flying is not the only part of being a member. Maintenance and other logistics are involved in our operation.]
