This is a CAP glider right after landing, as O-Flights are part of CAPs aerospace program we have glider O-Flights.
This is a one of the types of planes that CAP uses. In this photo it is towing a glider to altitude.
This blog is an extension on CAP O-Flights. I have done 3 out of my 5 powers flights witch is where you get to ride up front next to the pilot in a cessna 172 182 or a gippsland GA8 airvan. On a powered O-Flight you have a set amount of time and you study a sheet that tells you what you will be doing. When you get to the airport you go outside and preflight the airplane with the pilot then you get in and fly. I have only done 1 of my 5 glider flights so I don’t know much about that.
The photos of the damage in Dexter were taken on a CAP O-Flight that I was on. We were flying at about 3000′ feet in a CAP GA8 air-van. O-flights are one of the many things that you can do in CAP.

Many houses in this subdivision were damaged and a few were leveled, but by the grace of God, no one got hurt.
This is the bridge that was knocked away by the tornado.
