Prince William Composite Squadron

Virginia Wing, Civil Air Patrol

SAR

Search and rescue remains an important service provided by CAP members. CAP flies 95 percent of all federal inland SAR missions, as directed by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC) at Tyndall AFB, FL. Members of CAP volunteer their time to locate missing aircraft, ELT's and missing people 24/7 365 days a year. 

On average, each year CAP members fly more than 100,000 hours in operational missions and save about 100 lives.  The most recent search in the news was the Steve Fosset mission but countless others occurred during and since that mission.  See our News link to view the most recent missions that our squadron participated in.
