CAP SD Members Practice sUAS Search Tactics

"Our Exercise Simulated (The Search For) A Lost Teenager..."

Members of two South Dakota Wing squadrons trained last month in Rapid City using search drones – officially known as small Unmanned Aircraft Systems. “Our exercise simulated a lost teenager who was hiking to a lake near a residential area on the edge of Rapid City,” said Col. Mike Beason, exercise commander. “The search terrain was a challenge since there was a 150-foot drop from the start of the trail to the lake."

The Show Will Also Host An Aviation Discovery Zone

The Military Aviation Museum is announcing its first Airshow of 2021 and it has a special Hampton Roads connection. The Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach, VA will be transforming its 130-acre campus into a fully functioning WWII Airfield next month. This safe, socially distant event will have a limited capacity and plenty of room for visitors to spread out and is scheduled for June 19 and 20, 2021. The event will celebrate the Greatest Generation and their legacy of courage, determination, service and sacrifice, with a special emphasis on the US Navy and the Hampton Roads Community, home to a long tradition of Naval Aviation.
