Oh, and by the way, if you want to fly a CAP airplane on a mission not 
USAF-assigned you can rent one for a few hours. BUT, all aboard have to 
be CAP members and you cannot take it anywhere overnight. So, I can't 
take the wife down to the Columbus IN airport for breakfast or fr a few 
days to Atlanta to see my family.

A CAP 182 is currently about $150/hour compared to $178 for the club 182 
I rented last week.
