About the company
Commemorative Air Force, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and doing business as Ghost Squadron, provides military aviation heritage preservation and demonstration services to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on federal purchase orders and indefinite-delivery contracts. The organization operates 100% as a prime contractor with no subcontracting footprint, competing full-and-open across all Air Force commands without set-aside designations. Commemorative Air Force operates restored World War II-era military aircraft including B-25 Mitchell bombers, P-51 Mustang fighters, C-47 transport aircraft, and numerous other vintage warbirds to deliver aerial demonstrations, static aircraft displays, pyrotechnic shows, ground support services, flight training, and educational exhibits at military air shows, open houses, and special events.
The vendor's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Air Force commands, with the top five customers accounting for 71% of recent awards. The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command leads by award count with 117 awards valued at $1.4 million combined potential value, followed by Air Combat Command with 103 awards at $1.2 million and the Department of the Air Force (general) with 89 awards at $1 million. However, the Air Force Materiel Command dominates by dollar value, holding 30 awards worth $5.5 million combined potential value — more than three times the funding of the next-ranked customer. This reflects Commemorative Air Force's anchor contract, a five-year single-award indefinite-delivery contract with Air Force Materiel Command valued at $2.88 million through August 2030 for B-25 Mitchell aircraft support at Edwards Air Force Base, California, under the Test Pilot School/Qualified Evaluator Program. A $509,000 delivery order was placed against this IDIQ on August 20, 2025. Three other IDIQs carry multiple task orders: IDC FA930212D0009 (seven task orders, $129,000 combined value), IDC FA930218D0009 (five task orders, $509,000 combined value), and IDC FA930217D0016 (two task orders, $94,000 combined value).
Recent activity reflects consistent demand across Air Force commands. Awards per year have run 36 in 2022, 30 in 2023, 46 in 2024, 30 in 2025, and 15 through August 2026, with 571 total awards since 1997. Combined potential value across all awards sits at $11.9 million, with $8.3 million (70%) obligated. The vendor's service portfolio clusters under Social-Recreational and Support-Professional contract categories, with 218 awards under NAICS "All Other Amusement and Recreation Industries," 113 under "Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers," 54 under "Other Spectator Sports," and 36 under "Museums." Representative recent contracts include a $173,060 DC-3 flight support and training purchase order from Air Force Materiel Command (March 2024), multiple $40,000–$60,000 Tora Tora Tora pyrotechnic and reenactment aerial acts for Air Education and Training Command and Air Mobility Command, $50,000–$80,000 fuel, oil, and ground support orders from Air Combat Command, and numerous $3,000–$15,000 static aircraft display awards across installations nationwide. No recompete cliff exposure is evident in the source; the 30-award Air Force Materiel Command concentration is anchored by the single five-year IDIQ through 2030, while Air Education and Training Command and Air Combat Command orders are episodic purchase orders for discrete air show events, most with completion dates within 1–3 months of award.
