Four Overlake cadets and two senior members joined with a dozen other CAP members from western Washington in Chehalis on Sunday to assemble one of the CAP gliders and get in a few flights.
The Washington Wing has two Super Blanik gliders and two tow planes within its fleet of aircraft. The gliders are based at Chehalis for most of the year.
Every CAP cadet is eligible for 5 glider and 5 powered orientation flights funded by the US Air Force.
There were 13 cadet flights today with over 500 glider flights expected to be flown this year in the WA Wing. CAP glider operations are planned to continue into late October.
If you would like more information about becoming a member of the Civil Air Patrol and learning to fly, please contact the squadron commander.
Sincerely,
Michael Holliday, Capt, CAP
Commander PCR-WA-050
Overlake Composite Squadron
Civil Air Patrol
The Overlake CAP meets every Tuesday evening, 7PM at LWSD headquarters in RTC. New recruits are welcome. Capt. Mike Holliday lives in Kirkland and is actively involved in the PTSA.
