After successfully achieving the $20,000 goal for the annual campaign, the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) has set a stretch goal to raise $40,000 online as part of the 12 Planes of Christmas Campaign supporting aircraft restoration efforts.

With locations across the U.S., several of which include museums, the CAF has an educational impact across the country.
