CC-CAP acquires new Meeting Location

By Major Joe Ely Carrales, CAP

CC INTERNATONAL AIRPORT— The Corpus Christi Composite Squadron how has a new home...and at the AIRPORT to boot.

As of 28 August 2007, the Corpus Christi Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol will meet at Signature Flight Support on the grounds of Corpus Christi International Airport. This signals the next step and likely a new era for the Corpus Christi Comp Squadron.

“The proximity to a flight line,” said Major Joe Ely Carrales, “does a lot for unit morale and, in a big addition, facilitates cadet interaction with aircraft and the men and women who fly them.”
It is hoped that a solid relationship can be forged between the Signature Flight Support and the CC-CAP squadron. Already cadets have expressed their like for the facility as a meeting place.

“This is a cool place,” said Cadet Airman Morgun Bednek, “it was good getting a tour of the aircraft.”

Signature’s website http://www.bba-aviation.com/flightsupport/locations/crp/ accurately describes the location of the facility...

“A mild semitropical climate and the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico create an outdoor paradise 12 months a year in Corpus Christi. That reputation produces a healthy tourism industry ranked second only to the city's oil, gas and chemicals industry. With beautiful beaches and downtown only a short drive away, Signature-Corpus Christi is the place to be when visiting south Texas.”

Special thanks to Tanya Swails, General Manager, and our newest member, Javier Gutierrez for the honor of meeting at these excellent facilities.
