Title: CAP searches for missing buffalo
Post by: RiverAux on December 01, 2007, 02:26:46 PM
For those of you who don't like CAP to do non AF missions, here is a good story for you.  New York Wing decided to help out a farmer by sending out a plane and a ground team to look for two missing buffalo.  This was done as a corporate mission for a cost of $144 since it would be good training.  This little investment gained them a huge article in the local paper that explored all the aspects of CAP that is great advertising.

Personally, I think they should have assigned the Buffalo, NY squadron to this mission.

Maybe we should make a new ES qualification for that.
