  2. Staff Positions – The Squadron has a wide variety of Staff Positions. Like they say ‘It takes a village’ to run the place. The best way to learn about the various positions is to review the CAP Pamphlets that describe the job the talk to someone who performs the job currently to see if it truly where you would like to start. Pamphlets are located on the CAP National Website.
  3. Pilots – We are always in need of pilots. We are not a flying club…we are dedicated to flying activities that supports CAP Core Missions. If you desire to become a CAP Mission Pilot please understand this type of flying, especially in the mountains of Colorado, is not for everyone. Having said all that here is what it takes to become a CAP Pilot.
