Minimum Age: 16 by the start of the activity
Have you ever been to an air show? Picture an air show where hundreds of thousands of people come to see the many wonders of aviation. In real life, that picture is the Experimental Aircraft Association’s (EAA) annual fly-in at Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
For cadets age 16 and above, and selected senior members, the National Blue Beret (NBB) offers the chance to work at one of the largest and most prestigious air shows in the world.
NBB participants must have their CAP Form 101 General Emergency Services rating prior to NBB. The CAP Form 101 annotated for Ground Team Member (or supervised trainee), the CAP Form 76, and a current standard first aid card are highly desirable.
CAP and EAA will provide training for you to help support the air show. Each participant will work in several areas including the flight line and exhibits. Training will include techniques of aircraft marshaling and electronic direction finding. Cadets will be encouraged to take advantage of once-in-a-lifetime events that often occur during the air show.
