Does Civil Air Patrol have any multi engine aircraft. I seem to remember back in 1997 when I was stationed in HAwaii, I saw a CAP twin. It was a high wing fixed gear piston. It had a funny name to it that I cant remember. But other than that, I cannot recall any other twins.

Maj Gen Antonio Pineda, National Commander, announced at the NER Conference in November that Civil Air Patrol is currently obtaining a multi-engine aircraft.  It would become the only one currently in the fleet, according to him, meaning we haven't had any (at least for a while) up until now.

At one time CAP had a few C-45's, twin Beech aircraft. I never saw one, but heard there were several.

All of the CAP C-45's would have gone out of CAP inventory, probably around 1965. The twin Beech lists in Trade-a-Plane, last time I looked they were about $225,000.

Partenavia P68 Observer.

I think (but don't quote me on that) that its also the kind of airplane that CAP is considering for the twin.

But the question remains... Is it jumpable?  ;)

Doesn't look like it from the pics.

The Partenavia. Thats the plane I was talking about that I saw the Hawaii WIng have. It must be very popular inthat part of the country.

Me thinks not. :)

That door is awfully close to the engine.  And I'll bet that Partenavia frowns on flight with the door removed.

You'd be surprised what aircraft tend to BE jumpable, however.  I've gotten out of some fairly weird aircraft in my time (the C-152 Aerobat comes to mind directly.. That was a TIGHT jumpship.  The Maule ranks a close second.  That was a CAP demo jump, too)

And I will NOT ever again get into a Twin Beech. Ever.

Georgia had a Doctor donate a C-337 to the Wing this past June. National told us we had to sell it . We couldn't fly it in any official capacity at all.  We do however pay pilots to fly there own personal A/C ( some C-337's) to support SEADS missions at a rate I think of 120.00 Hr. DRY. Didn't make since to me at all. They said it was an Insurance thing But the private A/C owners are covered while they fly there own 337's for CAP.  It was a graeat lookiing A/C had High time engines but if Nat. had payed the wing what they were paying the private owners we could have covered the costs and cut out the private A/C guy's .

Whoops, follow the money and you will most likely find the answers.
