Civil Air Patrol is a private, aviation-oriented, civilian organization of
unpaid volunteers.  By federal law, Civil Air Patrol is the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force.  As such, Civil Air Patrol has three mission
elements - emergency services, aerospace education, and a cadet program.
If you think about the things you are really interested in, you may find Civil Air Patrol offers many of them -- and more.
