San Francisco Bay Group 2 of the Civil Air Patrol Returns to Assembly In Particular person at Livermore Airport | Information
Civil Air Patrol’s San Francisco Bay Group 2 celebrated their return to face-to-face meetings this month with a training day, orientation flights, beacon hunting competition, and other educational activities at Livermore Airport, home of Tri-Valley Composite Squadron 156.
“This activity was the catalyst needed to get our organization out of the pandemic and foster a stronger sense of community,” said Lt. Col. Shawn Lawson, Group 2 commandant.
He said about 160 cadets, adult members, parents and visitors attended the celebration.
The volunteer Civil Air Patrol is the United States Air Force’s civil helper and provides air support in emergencies. Bay Group 2 includes 10 seasons based in Livermore, Concord, San Francisco, Oakland, Hayward, Palo Alto, San Carlos, San Jose and Watsonville.
Because of the pandemic, CAP squadrons have met virtually since March 2020 and did not resume face-to-face meetings until June.
