Martha King Talks CAP

QuoteWhen the CAP recently asked me to serve on its Board of Governors, I was very honored, but at the same time embarrassed.
I realized that while I had seen CAP airplanes around airports for years, I really didn't know much about the organization. It was time for me to go to school on the subject, and study hard.
The CAP gave me a head start by having me attend the National Conference in Anaheim, California. It was like drinking from a fire hose.
I slowly began to get an idea of the magnitude of the Civil Air Patrol. With 560 airplanes, it is the largest general aviation fleet in the world.
After my first board meeting, the CAP continued its efforts to educate me. It sent me to school at Maxwell Air Force Base, the headquarters of the CAP, where I spent two days learning from managers about what their various departments were doing. It was especially fun for me to be there because it is the same place my father went to school when he was in the Air Force.....
