Reading Composite Squadron is looking for volunteers to help with parking and other details for the Mid Atlantic Air Museum's World War II Weekend. What began as the recreation of a WWII airfield has grown to encampments representing the European and Pacific Theatres of the War, including an extensive home front display, more than 80 period aircraft, 200 vehicles and over a thousand living history re-enactors and entertainers.

This event draws thousands of people and the Reading Composite Squadron needs help finding them all a place to park. Duties will also include flight line perimeter watch and some aircraft escort. Everyone who arrives will be put to work, but also receive plenty of time to explore the event.

The activity begins the morning of June 6 (Friday) and goes until the afternoon of June 8 (Sunday). All help is appreciated, especially any squadrons that could work with us on Friday and/or Sunday. All three days are very busy, but Friday and Sunday are our lowest staffed days. All squadrons bringing cadets must have at least one senior member attending the event.

Squadrons will receive an equitable portion of the donation made by the Mid Atlantic Air Museum's based on their unit’s man-hours.

If you have any questions or are interested in participating in the World War II Weekend, please provide your Squadron name, Contact Name and Phone Number and e-mail address to 1Lt Maria Kantner at mtk126@aol.com or 610-777-8272 (home).
