Civil Air Patrol takes to the skies for readiness exercise

Hudson’s Bay — The Fort Vancouver Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol conducted search-and-rescue readiness exercises May 3 at Pearson Field in Vancouver. Flight teams and ground personnel practiced so they would be ready to lend a hand in the event of a national or regional disaster. Pilots flew a red, white and blue Cessna in the skies over Clark County that day. Visit ftvancouvercap.org to learn more about the organization.
