College Park Composite Squadron
General Information
The College Park Composite Squadron is one of the oldest squadrons in Maryland. For more than 50 years we have served the community and the nation through the Civil Air Patrol's three primary missions: Cadet Programs, Emergency Services, and Aerospace Education. More than 30 cadets and 30 senior members make up our squadron. All members of the Civil Air Patrol are volunteers who serve at their own expense.
The squadron operates out of the Hap Arnold Building, located next to the police helicopter unit on the west end of the runway. The airport is the oldest continuously operating airport in the world. Our building is located on the site of some of the original hangers used by the Wright Brothers to train the first Army pilots. The police helicopter hanger is the original Air Mail hanger built in the 1920's when the first air mail delivery service started. You can make history, too.
We meet the first 4 Wednesdays of the month (except for holidays) from 6:45 pm to 9:15 pm. Visitors are welcome and if you are interested in seeing what CAP is about, feel free to stop by and visit.
