EAA Museum Tour 11/14/2009
 
On Saturday November 14, 2009, eleven members from Fox Cities Composite Squadron and their guests participated in a tour of the Experimental Aircraft Association Museum in Oshkosh, WI.  The trip was organized by 1st Lt Tom Hunt, Assistant Aerospace Education Officer for Fox Cities Composite Squadron, and included a guided tour of the museum, hands-on flight simulator time, and a trip to Kermit Weeks hangar.  Weeks is the EAA's Aircraft Maintenance and Restoration hangar, and members were able to see things such as the famous Ford Tri-Motor with a wing off for maintenance and a MiG-15 tucked up by an F-86 Sabre getting ready for renovation.  It was a very enjoyable trip and plans are to hold another one in the spring.

High Cliff State Park, Sherwood, WI -- Members from Stevens Point Composite Squadron joined Fox Cities Composite Squadron for their annual Fall Field Training Exercise (FTX) held at High Cliff State Park in Sherwood, WI on Nov 6th, 7th, and 8th.  There were more than 27 members in attendance throughout the weekend.  Cadets and senior members received instruction in team-building, orienteering, radio direction finding, knot tying, fire making, and other outdoor skills while camping out for two nights.  Members also participated in two practice ELT missions to hone the skills they developed during the weekend. 

Although the main concentration was on Emergency Services training, there was plenty of time for members to socialize and interact with each other.  One of the biggest hits of the weekend was the capture the flag game played at night with glow sticks.  Even senior members got into the fun!
