CAP Drill Orchestrates 500 Volunteers In Statewide Search
A Civil Air Patrol drill from Orange County Airport coordinates more than 500 volunteers and nearly 70 planes in a simulated search for eight targets across Orange Sullivan Ulster and Greene counties. CAP Col William Richardell directs from a small hangar while observers aboard five local planes track a reported downed parachute over a 700 square mile area. Volunteers in Rockland County, including Michael J. Gallo, join creeping line searches with ground teams and grid maps to rehearse air and rescue tactics.
