Accreditation at stake as two CAF staffers are ousted
Two General Staff members and museum board members Floyd Houdashell Jr. and Graham Robertson were removed after backing a 2008 bylaw change, risking CAF museum accreditation. Charles Hutchins and Randy Wilson were named to replace them, while officials defend the unchanged bylaws and note accreditation hinges on governance and potential liability of aircraft displays.
