New Hampshire Wing is hosting four International Air Cadets and one Senior Member this summer. This amazing experience will be from 24 July to 3 August.  This year cadets are coming from the UK, Australia, Canada, Turkey, Korea, China, Hong Kong, Israel, Belgium, the Netherlands and New Zealand.  NH will find out in June how many and where they are from. Families of cadets can host cadets; a senior member is needed to host their senior member escort. Some funding is available.  More photos and details from last year are here.  For more information or to volunteer, email Maj John Washington, Seacoast Squadron Commander

We are holding an Open House on April 27th at 7 pm at Granite Air Center at the Lebanon Municpal Airport (by the tower). All are welcome.

Come see what Civil Air Patrol is all about!

Many thanks to all who helped put the glider back together and fly it to Springfield!

Home Sweet Home

Comms were better than usual

Our “lost hiker” broke his leg!

“Help” arrived with the SKED!Mmmmm – MRE’s!

2nd Mission – We found it!  With an airplane, a map and a radio!

Applications for the annual Col Albert J. And Margie L. Sambold Memorial Solo Scholarship are now being accepted. See the NH Wing Cadet Programs site for more details. Note that although the date on that page is 2013, the details are unchanged for 2015.

Thanks to the four members of NH014 (plus Paul Kelly visiting from Manchester) N7539 is happily in her bunk for the winter. The Maule will keep her from getting lonely ( and can still be flown… Just pull it out of the hangar before putting the flaps down! )
