Default Do CAP members salute?

| | On the other side of that coin there are those who expect to join CAP
| | and think they have a "right" to start flying missions the next day
| | because
| they
| | have X number of ratings or whatever, or they are simply a low time
| | pilot who wants to fly CAP planes on the cheap, yet contribute
| | nothing to the organization. Or they simply join up one day and
| | expect the organization
| to
| | bend around them rather than wanting to be part of a team. Many of
| | them wind up like you and quit. Good ridance, I say. CAP has over
| | 500
| aircraft
| | in their fleet, so it should come as no surprise that they are going
| | to auger one in now and then. The nature of the business involves
| | some level of risk. Of the crashes you mentioned, all involved very
| | experienced and competent pilots. Perhaps they did do something
| | stupid, but if you think you are smarter than they were, or a better
| | pilot, you have the type of attitude that often leads to a smoking
| | crater at the end of your flying career.

| Are you in uniform? Did you salute Viperquack's first post?

| Pretty funny coming from someone who salutes janitors.

Interesting how easy you can lie.
