The Tallahassee Composite Squadron wishes to congratulate
Captain Ed Willoughby for his new command. On 19 Jul 2007, Command
authority was delegated to Capt Willoughby by outgoing Commander Capt
David Abrams in a Change Of Command ceremony presided over by Lt Col
Fred Swearingen. Capt Willoughby brings with him a long history of
military leadership and business management experience and will be a
great asset to the squadron.

What does the Tallahassee Composite Squadron Do?
The Tallahassee Composite Squadron serves three primary functions --
emergency services, aerospace education, and the cadet program.
|
Aerospace Education:
Surely no single advance has changed our world more, or promises to
make greater changes, than the advent of aircraft flight and
spaceflight....
|
 The Cadet Program:
The Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program is one of the best youth programs in
the United States, if not the world, today. Built on over 50 years of
experience in turning young people into leaders, the Cadet Program uses
military drill, aerospace education, and the Emergency Services program
to teach leadership and management skills to teenagers age 12 to 21. Help make a difference in a young person's life today

 Cadets take flight of a lifetime
After several CAP and EAA members spent the weekend leading visitors on tours of a historic B-17 "Flying Fortress" from WWII, 6 of their names were drawn to ride the B-17 to it's next stop in Gainesville. Cadet Technical Sergeant Stefan Floyd was lucky enough to have his name drawn, but gave his seat to his younger brother Cadet Senior Airman Joshua Floyd as he (Stefan) had already flown in a C-130 4-engined military transport. The crew of the bomber were so touched by his gesture that they found room for both of them; their school counted the absence as excused.Click for full-sized image
