Welcome to the Miami Valley Composite Squadron
Dayton's Miami Valley Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol is dedicated to serving the area in the "Mission for America" given to us by the United States Air Force. Our missions include a growing, cadet-led Cadet Program, informational and fun Aerospace Education opportunities, and always being ready for any Emergency Services mission assigned to our squadron. We always welcome new members to our all volunteer, civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force. Cadets are ages 12-18 and senior members are 18+ so please visit with us and see what we're all about! We also have plenty of opportunities for pilots.
The Miami Valley Composite Squadron (GLR-OH-284) was created from the 282nd Aero Composite Squadron on 15 December 2010. Based out of Dayton-Wright Brothers Airport we are one of fastest growing CAP squadrons in Ohio. We meet at 1800 Hours each Friday night.
