Speaking of "back in the day," I actually flew this particular F-15 - many years ago. Pictured with me is a member of the NBB PA Team, TFO Oakland.

Let's see how far we can get this to spread: MO/KS Statewide Tornado **Drill** taking place now.

Also, use this time to think about what you would do at work, at home, in your car, etc... in the event of a real tornado warning. Now is the time to develop those plans.

Here we are at Topeka Eagle Composite Squadron in Topeka, Kan. as they have their “safety-down day” where the focus of the entire meeting is safety, a vital component of CAP operations. Keep it up, Topeka! #safety #CAPCadet

We’re spending tonight with members of our St. Mary’s detachment as they work toward becoming a full squadron! It’s very nice to see our Kansas units working to advance their training and education!

Did you know that Kansas Wing volunteers completed 208 missions, and drove 285,000+ miles in 2017? Or that we flew 600+ hours? Great accomplishments for our volunteers!

[KS Civil Air Patrol @KSWG_CAP]

We’re spending time tonight with cadets of New Century Composite in Gardner, KS. Great to see the progress of our units in Kansas! #CAPCadet #volunteers
