Jefferson 10 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Any chance of reviving this lost program even un-officially? Link to post Share on other sites
Adam S 10 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Why not have your local Civilian Air Patrol sponsor a Post or a Crew? Link to post Share on other sites
emb021 16 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Problem with the Air Scout program (its not "Air Scouts of America") was that it was a PRE-flight program. Flying was never a part of the program. And that turned off many youth, who joined CAP. Link to post Share on other sites
Jefferson 10 Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Thanks for the suggestion and I understand where they were coming from. That sucks... Link to post Share on other sites
bacchus 10 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 As a former CAP Cadet, let me tell you they didn't have much flying for the youth either. Link to post Share on other sites
qwazse 4333 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 How about a crew dedicated to building an airplanes? Each entering class gets a design and fundraises for parts. Over the years, assembles it and gets FAA approval. You fly your class' model on your 21st birthday. Graduates "buy back" their model by advising underclassmen! Link to post Share on other sites
Stosh 3452 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 "As a former CAP Cadet, let me tell you they didn't have much flying for the youth either." This varied from one squadron to the next. As a former CAP Cadet, I got a lot of flight time and had I not been radio-operator trained, I would have had a lot more on the search/rescue operations. Stosh Link to post Share on other sites
