Welcome to Stinsons Flight # 2 ! 

We are proud to be a part of America's premier fraternal organization of military pilots, the Order of Daedalians.  Our membership includes active, retired or honorably discharged warrant, flight officer, or commissioned Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marine, Navy, Guard, and Reserve, and WASP personnel.

The Flight is named for the four Flying Stinsons who meant so much to aviation in San Antonio before and during World War I. Katherine, Eddie, Marjorie and Jack are all enshrined in the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame.  The Stinsons Flight was chartered in 1964 by Colonel Carl Crane, USAF (Retired), and a group of Founder Members.  Col Crane was the first in a long line of previous Flight Captains of Stinsons Flight, and the Flight has grown to become the largest in the Order of Daedalians with 500+ members.

The Stinsons Flight presents Daedalian Achievement Awards to outstanding High School JROTC students in the San Antonio area and provides college scholarships to potential military aviators. The Flight also recognizes top talent in local military aviation with the annual Crane and Eubank Awards.  Jointly with the Daedalian Foundation, the Flight also conducts a Cadet Flight Indoctrination Program (CFIP) which endeavors to solo high school students who demonstrate an interest in military aviation careers.

The Stinsons Flight maintains a memorial at Stinson Airport and conducts ceremonies there each December to honor the Stinsons, the Founding Members of the Order of Daedalians, and the first flight by the Wright Brothers in 1903.  The Flight also commemorates the 1910 exploits of First Lieutenant Benjamin Foulois at Fort Sam Houston's Macarthur Field in an annual ceremony on or about 2 March.   This year's ceremony marked the 100th Anniversary of a military aviation milestone - his solo flight in a Wright Flyer over Ft Sam which marked the first military solo flight in history.

The Stinsons Flight is recognized as a non-profit War Veterans organization, contributions to which are tax deductible under the Internal Revenue Code [501-(c)-19].
