What they do
OUR MAIN EFFORTS HAVE BEEN WITH THE DOUGLAS B-26K/A-26A, WHICH WAS A TYPE USED DURING THE VIETNAM CONFLICT of THE 1960S. THIS AIRCRAFT is THE LAST SURVIVOR of ITS KIND THAT is STILL AIRWORTHY. IT WILL BE USED to BRING ATTENTION to A HIGHLY CLASSIFIED MISSION CONDUCTED AT NIGHT OVER LAOS to INTERDICT SUPPLY CONVOYS COMING FROM NORTH VIETNAM to THE SOUTH VIA THE INFAMOUS HO CHI MINH TRAIL. THE SUCCESS of THE 609TH SPECIAL OPERATIONS SQUADRON COULD NOT BE PUBLICIZED AT THE TIME UNTIL IT WAS DECLASSIFIED IN 1992. WE WANT to BRING THIS HISTORY to AIRSHOWS SO THAT YOUNGER AMERICANS WILL REALIZE WHAT IT TAKES to DEFEND OUR DEMOCRACY and HONOR THOSE WHO SACRIFICED SO MUCH IN THE WAY of BLOOD, SWEAT and TEARS.OUR PROGRAMS ARE CENTERED AROUND THE CARE of TWO LEASED AIRCRAFT: THE A-26 and THE T-33, FIRST AIR JET TRAINER of THE US AIRFORCE IN 1948. THESE ARE RESTORED and MAINTAINED IN BETTER THAN NEW CONDITION. THEY ARE THEN DISPLAYED IN THE VINTAGE FLYING MUSEUM IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS, and AT AIRSH

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $27,033 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Expenses were greater than revenue, so the colored ring fills the available $100 and the total above 100% is shown below.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
Money in and money out
