CAP Cadet and Flying Program Details Share Benefits
Burgus explains CAP aims beyond crime response as an auxiliary air force unit. The organization educates the public about aviation and runs a cadet program for ages 13 to 18, offering flying instruction after two years and private licenses after another year at a reduced cost. Senior members receive similar benefits and pilots must fly a minimum monthly to stay active, with CAP planes rented at about half standard rates.
