Ak Airmen's Assoc Youth Aviation Day

Cadets are encouraged to 

Uniform: ABUs (the volunteer form says volunteers will wear orange hoodies, but CAP cadets will be in ABUs.  Ask for an orange hoodie & put it in your backpack : -))

Bring water to drink & a healthy sack lunch in a backpack with your name on it.  Food is provided for volunteers but may not be very plentiful.

If you know an 8-12-year-old who would like to register as a participant, send them this link: https://akairmen1951.regfox.com/2023-youth-aviation-day

The Alaska Airmen Association is again hosting a Youth Aviation Day 9am-4pm on Sat 8/12/23 at UAA Aviation Technology Division, 2811 Merrill Field Dr.

Capt Padgett is the CAP POC for CAP cadets who would like to volunteer. If your squadron would like to send cadets, by Thur 8/10/23, DCCs can let Capt Padgett know how many cadets and Senior Members will be participating from your squadron.  Uniform is ABUs for cadets, and corporate (blue polos/gray pants) for Senior Members. Though AAA plans to provide food for volunteers, please have all CAP members also bring a backpack with their own lunch/snacks, water, and anything else they may need during a long, busy day. Volunteers can help out the entire time 9am-4pm or they can come for just a few hours.

AAA plans to give full-day CAP volunteers the same fluorescent orange hoodies non-CAP volunteers will be wearing so they can take them home as souvenirs.

If you or others are volunteering as general members of the community (ie not necessarily as CAP), you can use this link to sign up (Link not currently working--you  may need to call them at (907) 245-1251 ): https://akairmen1951.regfox.com/2023-volunteer-youth-aviation-day

The Alaska Airmen's Association General Aviation community includes over 2,000 members. Their mission is to promote aviation, enhance safety, and support initiatives that benefit pilots and our growing aviation community. They are a tremendous resource to CAP members, especially those who fly or are learning to fly.  Their NextGen program is open to young adults interested in any aspect of Alaskan flying: piloting, aircraft mechanics, air traffic control, fabrication, and aviation management through scholarships, seminars, and community service opportunities.  NextGen dovetails nicely with CAPs youth aviation programs: https://alaskaairmen.org/nextgen/
