Members of Civil Air Patrol Squadron ride in a C-130 Hercules

Posted

Cadets and senior members of the Red Wing Civil Air Patrol Squadron based at the Red Wing Airport in Bay City received a chance to ride along with members of the MN US Air National 133rd Wing on Feb. 2, 2024. The CAP members learned about the mission and features of the C130-Hercules.

The six Red Wing CAP Squadron members were among 30 plus Civil Air Patrol members who participated.

CAP has evolved into a premier public service organization that still carries out emergency service missions when needed — in the air and on the ground.

As a Total Force partner and auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, Civil Air Patrol is there to search for and find the lost, provide comfort in times of disaster and work to keep the homeland safe. Members selflessly devote their time, energy, and expertise toward the well-being of their communities while also promoting aviation and related fields through aerospace/STEM education and helping shape future leaders through CAP’s cadet program.
