BOCA RATON PILOT'S ASSOCIATION

BOCA RATON PILOT'S ASSOCIATION was founded over 20 years ago by a group of local Boca Raton Pilots and Aviation enthusiasts. Today the Pilot's Association has approximately 150 members who meet once a month to discuss the latest advancements in aviation safety and technology, as well as, local airport and aviation issues.

The Pilot's Association sponsors regular group trips called fly outs and many social events throughout the year.

In conjunction with the Boca Raton Airport Authority, the Pilot's Association also sponsors an Aviation Scholarship Program which awards up to a $4,000.00 scholarship every year to a deserving local high school student who is pursuing his or her private pilot's license.

The Boca Raton Pilot's Association meets the first Wednesday of every month at the Boca Raton community Center, 150 Crawford Boulevard, Boca Raton at 7:00 PM.

CIVIL AIR PATROL (CAP)

National Headquarters Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama

The Civil Air Patrol, which was founded in 1941, is a volunteer, non-profit organization that is probably best known for its involvement in search and rescue, disaster relief, and civil defense.

CAP members fly approximately 80% of the search and rescue mission hours assigned by the Air Force Rescue and Coordination Center at Scott AFB in Illinois.

During World War II, CAP's principal purpose was to provide private pilots and aviation enthusiasts a means by which to use their light aircraft and skills in civil defense efforts. Among these civil defense wartime missions were anti-submarine patrol missions along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts; patrol missions along the Mexican border watching for enemy agents attempting to infiltrate into the U.S.; airlifting of small lots of vitally needed war supplies and aircraft parts; and towing of aerial targets for gunners to use in practice.

CAP's emergency services mission has expanded over the years and now includes assisting the U.S. Customs Service in its counter narcotics efforts by flying air reconnaissance missions along the U.S. borders. Similar missions are being flown for the Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Forest Service.

CAP participation involves aerial patrol missions only. Members are not involved in ground operations and do not carry firearms or make arrests.
