Civil Air Patrol...what I have learned so far

Our GA-8s and ARCHER systems were heavily utilized as well for photo-recon work looking for specific things at ground zero. Most of the aerial photos that you've seen right after the incident were taken using CAP resources.

Same kind of things were done post-Katrina.
 
CAP also helps the DEA, local, and state law enforcement agencies with counter drug operations. CAP also helps with disaster relief missions such as Katrina and most recently in Galvaston after Ike. In the air CAP can take damage assesment photos or help ground search and rescue crews navigate though debris or to avoid flooded areas. CAP ground resources can help search for survivors or help distribute food and water.

Well this thread has definitely gone awry...

Anyhow, good posts CAP_Flyer -- you represent us well :rawk:

I've certainly enjoyed my time in CAP, and hope to do so for a long time, and yes we have one of those tools in our squadron and he loves to show up to the weekly meeting in his flights suit claiming he just came from the airplane, so I log into the scheduler right then and there and see it was flown at 10am....it's now 7pm.

Rank or no rank. Big deal.

CAP, USAF, ARMY, USMC, USCG, USCG Axillary, and any other volunteer organization is full of people wanting to serve their community and do it to the best of their ability.

I thank each and every person who serves their community and country in any volunteer organization selflessly.
