Any CAP pilots?

I'm just curious what thoughts or experiences people have with regard to the CAP. -Chris Chris, There is two CAP wings in my state. A power wing and a glider wing (which works exclusivly with cadets). I am a member of both and I have a nite and day difference in my experiences. Let me start by saying that I am in the clique and I get to do as much flying as I want to, so this isnt about sour grapes. The power wing has suffered from incredibly poor leadership over the years. It is full of pilots who just want to fly on the cheap and avoid any real work. The power safety meetings always degrade into arguments over who has the biggest twinkie. The safety record has been very poor (This is true nation wide so whatch out !!). The glider wing on the other hand has been one of the best experiences I have had in aviation. The commanding officer and everyone else has been great (Or we dont let them in ') ). The required safety meetings are fun, and I love working with the cadets. Much of your experience will depend on who is running the wing and who they let in the door. Good luck! KB |
