Mid-State Cadets Visit WPHB Radio Morning Show

Cadets from the Mid-State Squadron were guests on the Sheldon Sharpless morning show on WPHB in Philipsburg Wednesday July 1st. C/Cpt Steven Lazar, cadet commander of the Mid-State squadron, and C/Tsgt Nick Megahan spent the 8am hour with Sheldon talking about opportunities in the Civil Air Patrol cadet program, experiences at encampment and cadet leadership school, orientation flights, and the cadet leadership academy.

Sharpless, long time morning show host of the 5000 Watt day-timer AM station at 1260 on the dial, was very knowledgeable in CAP's role in site security and search and rescue, but it was the cadet program that intrigued him the most and the opportunity each CAP cadet has to fly and learn about aerospace.

The Mid-State squadron, originally based out of the Mid-State airport (KPSB), recently relocated to the Phillipsburg YMCA where they meet Tuesday evening at 7pm. The squadron still plans to maintain a presence at the airport with various aerospace activities, field training exercises and orientation flights, but moved their regular weekly meetings to the YMCA for greater exposure with the community and easier access for cadets and seniors to attend meetings regularly.
