I can understand that CAP is cheap, but I would think that Highway Patrol 182s and the like would be a better channel for all that $$. A greater return on investment.
In Indiana the troopers have lost airplanes and we fly them around. I would say that is actually a better return on investment. No training required to make a trooper a pilot. CAP pilot flying, so one more trooper on the road in his car for the public.
