Still, nothing beats a good crap-flapper or whisker-do.
This L-19 in the Airbase AZ CAF museum now makes me think of @ChuckMK23 . Although it sports the Third Task Force Sub Hunters squadron logo, it could not have served in that unit during WWII. It is a mid '50s build restored as a L-19 CAP aircraft. Still, hundreds of L-19s served with the CAP. And the WWII submarine hunting mission of the CAP gets little recognition. Imagine a Stinson 108 with a 250lb bomb MacGyvered to the belly or a Grumman Widgen armed with a couple depth charges, looking like a spunky little brother to the Catalina.

CAP had an authorized war service ribbon for WWII and does have official campaign credit for their U-Boat patrols. In 2014 the government created a new medal for CAP veterans of the war.This L-19 in the Airbase AZ CAF museum now makes me think of @ChuckMK23 .

They also earned hundreds of Air Medals, as civilians.
They do now, as does 323. Most or all Hornet squadrons are composite lately.

"Wow! All of that shit I'm pointing at... why are you wearing it? You're flying over a desert, not the Indian Ocean. OBTW, that harness really makes your junk stick out! Is that comfortable?
Just FYI, we wouldn't normally be wearing these masks on a "survival scenario", but we need to virtue signal. How's your broken wrist?"

Photo from Wednesday (19 May) - exercise with OH ANG F-16's (180th FW in Toledo) and CAP Ohio Wing C182's (aircraft and crews from Columbus and Akron). CAP aircraft were playing low/slow threat for section of F-16s. We call the exercise FERTILE KEYNOTE. Usually a good time because the F-16's are usually crewed with pilots fresh out of UPT and FTU. Speed brakes out as the F-16 intercepts the mighty Turbo C-182 at 130 KIAS
