Civil Air Patrol squadrons at Fullerton Airport celebrated their remobilization on July 17 after being partially shuttered for more than a year under a nationwide stand-down order.
This year, the 60,000-member nonprofit organization is celebrating its 80th anniversary serving as the civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force.
During the pandemic, Fullerton-based squadrons continued emergency services on behalf of federal, state, and county agencies. Civil Air Patrol flight crews have piloted a Cessna 172 single-engine plane to search for downed aviators, said Maj. Jeff Goeggel, public affairs officer for Fullerton Composite Squadron 56. They’ve also flown photographers for over neighborhoods that burned down in a Northern California wildfire and acted as lost pilots intercepted by U.S. Air Force fighter pilots during training exercises.

Military Institutions Dodge Questions on Critical Race Theory
U.S. military institutions dodged questions about the role of Critical Race Theory (CRT), a topic that recently triggered heated exchanges between conservative legislators and defense leaders.
The Epoch Times reached out to military bases regarding CRT cases reported via a whistleblower program launched at the end of May by Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.). Academies were also contacted for more curriculum details to support defense leaders’ argument that teaching CRT fosters an open-minded military. In response, the U.S. Naval Academy commented without addressing the CRT question, and West Point confirmed receiving and working on the request but didn’t comment.
