NO Squadron 150 Meeting this Thursday 31 August, 2017!!

Friends,

Squadron 150 will not be meeting this week (31 August, 2017) since it is the fifth week of the month and our squadron is typically "dark" during the fifth week. 

In the meantime we hope you have a great week and we will see you on 7 September, 2017 for our next Squadron 150 meeting.

Join us this Thursday!

If you're considering joining the Civil Air Patrol and want more information about CAP in Orange County, we invite you to join us this Thursday 24 August, 2017 for our next Squadron 150 meeting. The meeting begins at 7:30pm and will end around 9:00pm. We meet at the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base (JFTB) in Los Alamitos.

What to expect:

When you arrive let us know that you're visiting and a member of our squadron will connect with you. Our meetings generally start with a few announcements and then incorporate some type of teaching, training or hands-on activity. Thursday night's meeting is aircrew focused and we'll be discussing the VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) and distance measuring equipment (DME) equipment on an airplane. 

We look forward to seeing you there!

Just sharing some squadron photos this week!

Thank you to these valued members!

Flight Planning Training Exercise

During a recent meeting Squadron 150 members participated in a tabletop training exercise, where members were tasked with planning a simulated flight from Fullerton Airport (KFUL) to Chino (KCNO) and then continuing the flight from KCNO to Bermuda-Dunes (KUDD) to conduct a "Route Search Pattern" for a simulated missing aircraft. 

Members of all experience levels received valuable training and practice during this tabletop exercise-practice that will be useful during an actual mission.
