No sense looking for subs in those little Cessna's, subs are equipped with surface to air missiles that could take the plane down before you could turn around.
I'm sure they do ;) Thankfully, that was our calling in WWII as our volunteers patrolled the coast. Today, while we do not perform any combat missions like we used to, nowadays our "little Cessnas" are tasked with doing 90% of all inland search and rescue as tasked by the AFRCC amoungst various other homeland security and cadet programs duties. Who woulda thought a volunteer organization which does so much has the largest fleet of single engine aircraft in the country? WTG CAP!
There's a moment in the video when Palermo gets choked up. What viewers don't know is that NOLA CAP members lost their brethren during a training mission. We'd just learned of it the day we filmed this.
CAP is a GREAT organization. Kudos to all who support. I was the public affairs officer and rode with this crew that day. What an honor it was to coordinate this news piece and work with Col Palermo! :-)
too bad nobody knows about Wyoming wing.

CAP is finally starting to get some media coverage. I think if more people knew about it, then there would be way more volunteers in it.
