Civil Air Patrol is yet another great way to help out your community and also receive flight hours. There is a Civil Air Patrol Wing in each state so no one that flys has the excuse of not being near one. The Civil Air Patrol has the largest fleet of single engine aircraft in the world and is an US Air Force Auxillary. Which means it is voluntary only. There are a few fees to joining and some paperwork, but with everything that you are able to do while in the Civil Air Patrol is amazing.
In the Civil Air Patrol you would be doing search and rescue for people and aircraft, help in natural disasters, search for drugs with the local authorities, and may even get the chance to do special missions with the Air Force.
Whatever your experience level with flying and aircraft doesn't matter. There is basically a job for anyone. You do not even need to know anything about flying, they have plenty of positions that are need outside and inside an airplane which does not require a pilots license, with ranges in age from 12 and up.
If you are not sure about join just give a near by squadron a call. To find the phone number go to this site: http://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/html/index.htm
Good luck and maybe I'll see you at the next meeting.
