Goodbye, Tri-Blade. Hello, Pollock
For decades, the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) has served as the official civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force. The congressionally chartered, federally supported, non-profit organization has saved a great many lives in its eighty-years, and quietly served as a conduit by which generations young people have proceeded to pilot certification and flying jobs. Nationwide, CAP is a major operator of single-engine general aviation aircraft. The agility and utility of such airplanes is well suited to the organization’s search and rescue and disaster relief missions.
