I still don’t have a “Commander’s Corner” article for this month. This feature is open to anyone in any sort of command position, both seniors and cadets. It is a good place to congratulate our members on a job well done, or remind them of things they need to know.

Also, please pass this information on to other members that might be interested in contributing. I would especially like to receive articles from cadets.

Thank you for your time,

On November 15th and 16th - Squadron 306 will be running a concession stand at both ranges for the PA National Guard "Operation Sure Shot" at Fort Indiantown Gap. "Operation Sure Shot" is the annual event when two firing ranges are opened to the public to site in their guns before hunting season and the PA National Guard is there to support that effort. There is a hand gun range which will be located by the Hawk Watch at Training Range C-6 and a rifle range opened at range 6 off of Quartermaster Road (road across from CAP HQ). The ranges open at 0900 both days and close at 1500 Saturday and 1400 Sunday.

Thanks to all the pilots who flew cadet O rides in support of the Zerbey, Lebanon and Lancaster Squadrons yesterday, Sunday, 9 NOV. Special thanks to Bill Durdan and Geoff Knauth, from Group 5 who brought their 172 and 182 to ZER. Thanks to their Group commander, Roy Long, for supporting Group 2. Jeff Case, Bill Durdan and Geoff Knauth did 15 O rides at ZER for the ZER unit and the Lebanon unit. Jack Weckerle and Greg Gallerizzo did 6 at LNS and then dropped 33L at VAY for maintenance and chased in 99467. It was Greg’s first mission as CAP pilot and he did a great job. BOTTOM LINE = 21 cadet O rides ( a lot of happy cadets) over 20 hours on our planes and flying hours and increased proficiency for our pilots. Congrats and thanks again.
