CAP Aviation Day (Cancelled)
March 25, 2022 - March 27, 2022
-- CANCELLED --
Unfortunately, Oklahoma Wing will not permit members from other wings to participate in overnight events at this time. So this event has been cancelled. The squadron will be hosting a 'Soaring Weekend' with glider flights this weekend instead.
This is an overview of the upcoming CAP aviation event in Pryor, OK (20 minutes outside of Tulsa). Scheduled for the 25-27 of March, this overnight weekend activity involves o-flights and training in hot air balloons, gliders, powered aircraft, and drones. This is an outstanding opportunity to indulge in aviation related activities for virtually no cost.
To attend, you must be a CAP Cadet or Senior member (there is NO rank requirement, so if you just joined, you are highly encouraged to attend). In addition, parents are welcome to attend.
Transportation will be provided. Our CAP van will leave the squadron building on Friday morning in order to arrive in Pryor by mid afternoon. The actual activities will occur all day Saturday. We will leave Pryor on Sunday, arriving back at the squadron building by the evening of the 27th.
In regard to logistics, we will sleep in a church near the event's location. This church will have 4 rooms. There are shower facilities available, and attendees will be separated according to gender and member status. Cadets should bring a sleeping bag and pillow. Meals will be provided on Saturday courtesy of the event's host. However, attendees should bring money for all other meals (dinner for Friday and breakfast and lunch for Sunday).
General McClendon is a key player in regards to our squadron's role in this activity. He will need a rough headcount of those interested in attending ASAP. Hence, PLEASE REPLY TO THIS EMAIL WITH YOUR AVAILABILITY (yes, no, or maybe). When replying, please ensure that the email recipients includes myself (carmenashburnok@gmail.com), General McClendon (mike.mcclendon@txwg.cap.gov), and Capt Pearson (eric.pearson@txwg.cap.gov).
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. More details regarding this event will be announced shortly.
