NOTE: **THE WEBSITE WILL GO THROUGH SOME CHANGES FOR THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CLUB ORGANIZATION - JULY 1, 2025**
Tonight we were were able to host our summer op which was created by one of our Raptor Pilots from the Seekers Squardon Wedge. The title of this op was "Start" This was an action packed op that was very well thought out and a good time was had by all.
This Op was the first from the iniative that the CAG has put in place for the invitation for our members to create our ops.
