FRYEBURG, Maine — If you notice a bit of extra buzzing over town today, it could be the sound of Cessnas flying a Civil Air Patrol training mission, helping young cadets to hone their search-and-rescue and communication skills.
Five CAP aircraft are slated to fly into the Eastern Slope Regional Airport today, arriving between 8 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. Senior CAP members will be piloting those planes while CAP cadets perform various communications tasks as members of a ground crew, explained Maj. Mark Hyland, Maine Wing public affairs officer and commander of the Lewiston-Auburn CAP Squadron.
