CAP is America’s premiere opportunity for air-minded youth. Thanks to CAP adult volunteers, cadets learn about the fundamentals of aviation through classroom activities, self-study texts, orientation flights, and formal flight training.

Cadet Emma Herrington today became the first CAP cadet to earn her private pilot’s certificate through the new Cadet Wings program funded by the U.S. Air Force. “I had no idea my first flight with CAP would lead to many more. O-flights are the most important part of a cadet’s journey through CAP, and most importantly, they are free.” Admission into Cadet Wings is ultra-competitive and based on merit. Herrington explains, “It gives aviation-crazy cadets who have drive and discipline the chance to get their license. It’s the answer for those who cannot afford flight training but are desperate to fly.” "The best thing about Cadet Wings is that you’re trained to fly CAP aircraft and all expenses are covered. Without the help of Cadet Wings, I would have been unable to afford my flight training,” she said
