We lost a friend and wonderful
Member of the CAF.

The Commemorative Air Force is deeply saddened by the loss of Dan Fordice — CAF General Staff member, warbird pilot, veteran, patriot, and tireless advocate for America’s veterans and history.

Dan dedicated his life to preserving the stories of those who served, supporting wounded veterans, and inspiring future generations through living history and aviation. Within the CAF, he was known for his larger-than-life personality, generous spirit, and unwavering passion for the mission.

His legacy will live on in the countless lives he touched, the veterans he honored, and the aircraft he helped preserve.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Ann Claire, his family, friends, and all who knew and loved him.

Blue skies and tailwinds, Dan.
