Commander. Alan G. Matson

FAA Commercial Pilot certificate with Instrument Rating, Certified Flight Instructor. I am also pursuing the B.S. Degree in Professional Aeronautics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University . My minor is in Aviation Safety.

I am a Squadron Commander in the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary, Civil Air Patrol. I lead an outstanding squadron of dedicated volunteers. The missions of Civil Air Patrol are emergency services, aerospace education and cadet programs. We are responsible for nearly 90% of the inland search and rescue efforts in the United States.

We also have the mission of Aerospace Ed ucation, and in 2001 I was honored to receive the Aerospace Ed ucation Officer of the Year award from Minnesota Wing, CAP. I enjoy helping others to learn about the great field of aviation. Our other mission is Cadet Programs, and I am blessed to work with some extraordinary cadets!

Captain Mark R. Helseth

I’ve always wanted to give back something honourable and worthwhile to my community through aviation. The U.S. Air Force Auxiliary, Civil Air Patrol (CAP) fulfills those objectives. I’m the Operations Officer for our squadron of about eighty volunteer members. I watch over and tend to the needs of Viking squadron’s Cessna 172 and 17 pilots. In 2004, our squadron will fly close to 600 hours of training and actual mission flights. In addition to my local Operations role, I also work at a state level within CAP’s Homeland Security program. My role in Homeland Security is managing the statewide implementation of CAP’s digital Airborne Imaging from our aircraft. CAP will use the Airborne Imaging for Homeland Security, Search and Rescue, and serving our local Law Enforcement. This is an exciting program of almost real-time photographs that are sent to the Internet directly from the airplane.
