CNYPCUG CAP Presentation
Monday night was a high point for the CNYPCUG as the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) marched into the meeting room. Lt. Matt Mallory with cadets Lt. Bill Coons, Lt. Nathan Porceng, Lt. Steve Cusumano, Liz Diamond, and Tylor Mallory, presented themselves as very professional, very motivated people. They gave us an excellent show, reviewing the background of the CAP, the activities of the local chapter, their equipment and procedures. Cadet Porceng demonstrated the Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) and the radio direction finder (DF) device they use to find downed aircraft. He told us that the CAP is a vital adjunct to the civil and military search and rescue services, assisting as a lower cost extension of those agencies.
These young people were all dressed in crisp USAF blue-style uniforms and stood at parade rest during their entire presentation. What an inspiring sight! These people will go on to great careers! They got a rousing round of applause at the end of the evening. Many of our members spoke glowingly of their show as they left. We owe Matt Mallory a big THANK YOU for bringing this wonderful group to our meeting.
The above was written by Paul Fleischmann, VP of the CNY PC Users Group.
