Updates on
Cadet O-FlightsYes, cadets, we know
you’re wondering whenyou might be able to get upin a plane for an orientationflight. We know that flyingis probably why you joinedCAP in the first place. Andwith few or no air shows onthe horizon, we all guess thatorientation flights are evenmore important.
You’re probably aware that
our wing commander, Col
McCabe, left behind an ‘o-flight’ vacuum when he tookon his duties last August. Heprovided most of our squad-ron’s flying opportunities.
Right now, it’s matterof personnel and planesAccording to Lt. Col. Waltonwe may be able to organize“flying days” with othersquadrons soon.

Tri-Wing Encampment
Great Early SummerOpportunityBasic encampment. Cadets
usually love it or hate it.For many, it’s an obstacle
to get over, and this year’sNJ Wing encampment won’ttake place until late July.Cadets who would like toget encampment over earlythis year – as a personal pref-erence or to fit around fam-
ily vacation and work plans– can attend one in anotherstate.
The Tri-Wing Encamp-ment, hosted by CarrollComposite Squadron atCamp Fettered, Md., isscheduled a month earlierthan the NJ encampment,24 June to 2 July. The cost isonly $85, somewhat cheaperthan the NJ encampment,
and transportation to theencampment will be provid-ed by our squadron. Cadetswho want to attend the TriWing Encampment must becadet airmen or higher.
This is an excellentopportunity - the Tri-Wingencampment is known to be an excellent encam
ment, and the dates areearly enough in the summerto allow for other summeractivities, such as HawkMountain Ranger School, orNew Jersey Ground Searchand Rescue School.
