The Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Capital Wing has collaborated with Loudoun County brewer/distiller Flying Ace Farms in the creation of the “Doris Mae IPA” beer. The beer’s label, designed from the Wings WWII TBM Avenger “Doris Mae” nose art and other styling cues, was created to help with annual fundraising for non-profit Capital Wing. The “Doris Mae IPA” will also be available on draft and in a can at Flying Ace Farms, located at 40950 Flying Ace Lane in Lovettsville.
Attendees may take a ‘wing walk’ on the TBM Avenger “Doris Mae” to view the cockpit up close or check out the various other static aircraft and WWII vehicle displays.
