Who pays for the CAP? Does it own aircraft and ground facilities? How many permanent staff versus how man volunteers? What relationship to Air National Guard, if any? Ortolan88

I removed the sentence fragment noting that the national commanded is usually an active-duty USAF Colonel, as this has not been the case for some time. I also reworded the section involving the command structure of CAP, adding information about small wings not being divided into groups at all. Merenta 16:47, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Copyright Issues

I just looked at the CAP history page at the CAP Historypage. This wiki is plagiarized. We need a new article.

Yes, it seems that despite the .gov domain this is a nonprofit corporation, not an arm of the U.S. Federal Government; it can therefore own copyright. --rbrwr^± 23:46, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Actually, the Civil Air Patrol runs under a strange catagory. Dispite it being a nonprofit corporation, it's still under direct jurisdiction of the United States Air Force. However, I suppose the volunteer status would force the copyright issue. If no one expresses interest in creating a new page, I will do it in my spare time (har har).

I've started creating the new page. Hopefully, it will be done within a week. I will open it back up to general editing once my revision is complete. Linuxbeak 14:17, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
